The death toll reached three today from fires in two Iowa homes. The high school gymnasium at Tracy also was destroyed by fire.

The other death was that of Mrs. Mary Banning, about 80, in a fire at her Rock Rapids home.
The condition of Westmeier, 31, a farmer at: Crabtown, 17 miles north of Maquoketa, was still critical today as was that of his daughter, Grace. 8. Three other children- Janice, 6, and Gerald and Joseph, both 5--were in fair condition.
