Courthouse
in Brown
Destroyed
Faulty Wiring Near
Roof Blamed for
Ainsworth Blaze
AINSWORTH Ainsworth and
Brown county, will be celebrating
a diamond jubilee August 6, 7, 8,
and 9, without a courthouse. Fire
early Easter morning, April 6.
virtually destroyed the building
which had been serving 70 years.
The fire was discovered at ap
proximately 5:30 a.m., by Lyle
Wheeler, who immediately re
ported the news to the sheriff,
who has his house immediately
north of the courthouse
Sheriff Ralph Leonard turned
in the fire alarm, but due to the
freezing snow and rain brought
out the night the fire siren was
jammed and it was impossible to
summon the Ainsworth volunteer
firemen.
While Police Chief Gene Welke
climbed the tower to free the si
ren, the telephone operator be
gan calling the members of the
j department.
At approximately 6 a.m., the
j siren was freed and at about this
j same time the firemen arrived
| with trucks.
When the fire was reported it
was already flaming through the
frame roof of the brick building
The fire completely gutted the
second floor, which contained the
Brown county district courtroom,
surveyor’s office, superintendent's
office’ and assessor's office.
Flames burned through the
floor into the hall on the first
floor. A strong north wind swept
the flames rapidly across the
files contained on the second
floor but loss of county records
was relatively light. Damage to
the office of the treasurer, clerk,
judge and welfare agent on the
first floor was confined to water
and smoke damage.
The offices of the clerk, trea
surer and superintendent will be
temporarily located in the jail
with the judge located in an ab
stract office.
Insurance on the building to
taled $64,000 with $13,000 on the
contents and $8,000 on the records.
Mayor John Cassel, describing
the fire in a recorded interview
This is a view of one side of the Brown county courthouse at the height of the Easter morning fire,
which virtually destroyed the 70-year-old building. —I’hoto courtesy of the Ainsworth Star-Journal.
on Monday's "Voice of The Fron
tier” program <W.IAG, 9:30 a.m ),
said the blaze started between
the ceiling of the second floor and
the roof, presumably by faulty
wiring.
Files of the clerk, treasurer
and judge were stored in a brick
vault constructed about three
years ago.
By 11 o'clock Easter morning
the fire was brought under con
trol. No outside firemen were cal
led in.
The courthouse was construct
ed in 1889.
Cassel said the county had es
tablished a sinking fund in recent
years with a view toward erec
tion of a new courthouse, and es
timated there is 40-thousand-dol
lars in the fund. He also said
70-thousand-dollars could be made
available from tax sources and
said these figures plus recovery
on the insurance would make a
start toward a new structure.
