Inferno
engulfs downtown buildings. 6:22 pm.
A raging fire in Lincoln's
downtown square has destroyed three buildings. The initial fire
began in Simonson's Floor Covering at 221 S. Kickapoo. The
buildings on both sides also have been destroyed as Lincoln
firefighters and crews from all surrounding districts fought
successfully to keep the disaster from spreading to the Lincoln Theater.
