Spencer, Feb. 12—Fire of unknown origin Thursday evening destroyed the homes of Conductor B.A. Eakins and Engineer Seth Parker, adjoining each other on Eighth Street in Spencer. The flames were fanned by a high wind and the firemen were powerless to save the buildings but did save a number of other dwellings in the vicinity. The loss is estimated at about $4,000 each including two automobiles, while Mr. Eakins is said to be the only one with insurance.
