OLD FORT RANDALL
LANDMARK BURNED
(Norfolk News)
Fort Randall, S. D., Dec. 7: The
commanding officers home at old Fort
Randall, has been destroyed by fire.
The manner in which it caught fire is
unknown. The historical landmark
wes erected at the time the fort was
built, and was a building fifty feet
square and three stories high, and
contained twenty o r twenty-five
rooms. It was the last remaining
building of the large group that at
one time comprised Fort Randall,
and has-stood for seventy-five years.
Ed Donlin had occupied the home
since last Spring, but was in Fairfax
at the time of the fire. All of his
clothing and household furniture was
burned, together with the belongings
of Joe Onstel, who was picking corn
for Mr. Donlin.
The officers’ home was built from
sawed logs, which were shipped from
St. Louis, and siding was placed over
them. Niobrara was the last town on
| this side of the Missouri river and
. Fort Randall, where the government
| troops were stationed, was frequently
called upon to settle Indian disputes.
All the country beyond was Indian
| reservations, to the British posses
I sions. It was a notable building in
j that it housed some of the early gen
erals, Harney, Sherman, and Schaff
er.
