No homes were lost. Damage to shrubs, trees and loss of livestock could not be determined early as the fire swept across more than a square mile. More than 500 homes in the northern residential area of Henryetta were threatened. Low water pressure hampered the efforts of the Henryetta fire department. The army of volunteers using wet sacks, towels and wet brooms beat the fire into control after a three-hour fight.

Employes of the Eagle Picher Smelting and the Pittsburgh Plate Glass who have homes in the area, were released from work to help fight the flames. Dozens of families were evacuated from the area as a high, quick changing wind threatened to fan the flames out of control. The fire started from a small (rash fire, officials said. Mrs. Ernest Kennedy, who lives Hi miles north of Henryetta on Fifth street, said the flames started after her 4-year-old son.

Johnny, removed a tub from the top of a barrel in which she was burning trash. The fire spread through the Bucna Vista area rapidly, then across a hillside into the Henryetta Heights section. Volunteers battled the flames from 1 to 4 p. m. before the fire chief reported the flames "reasonably well under control." The fire was still burning late Tuesday night; but gave no further threat of damage.

They beat both Cooper and his wife on the head and face with gun barrels and a pair of heavy wire clippers. He said they used these clippers to snip two rings from his wife's hands, one of them a diamond ring valued at $2,000.
