Fire guts steak restaurant's party room
A party room of Cattleman's Steakhouse at Indian Cliffs Ranch near Fabens was gutted by fire Saturday. One of seven of the restaurant's party rooms was discovered in falmes at about 1:30 p.m. by a ranch foreman, said owner Dieter Gerzymisch. Attempts to put out the fire were futile because "it was too far gone," Gerzymisch said. Damage to the party room - about a quarter of a mile northeast of the steakhouse - was estimated at about $10,000, he said.
No one was in the room at the time. Dining continued as usual during the fire, and the restaurant still is open for business, Gerzymisch said. The cause of the fire was unknown Saturday.
