RE: Lyle Fire in 1891

LYLE MINN. BURNS

Lyle, Minn., was wiped out by fire today. The flames first broke out in a vacated hotel.

Two depots, two hotels, two elevators, Lund & Lund's store, John M. Iber's store, three saloons. Knudson's hardware store, and several meat markets and barber's shops were burned. Only three business buildings are left. The loss will reach $15,000.
