Monroe, March 21—Fire here last night at the chicken farm of R.B. Thomas, worker in the Seaboard yards, destroyed the lives of several hundreds of chickens.
Mr. Thomas had just returned from fire was discovered. The alarm was immediately sent in and soon the engines were on the scene. The fire is said to have originated from a brooder.
From the front page of the Concord Daily Tribune, Saturday, March 22, 1924. A word was omitted in the article; it didn’t say where Mr. Thomas had been before the fire was discovered.
