Ford, a little town on Chamokane
creek, 42 miles west of Spokane, was
half destroyed by fire Friday afternoon,
a restaurant, confectionery store
and a general store being destroyed,
together with their contents. Thomas
S. Griffiths of Spokane arrived soon
after the fire began and with the aid
of the surrounding farmers, sawmill
men and residents of the town saved
the rest of the town, in spite of the
prevailing high wind, which spread the
red hot cinders abroad.
