Stuhles Wore Completely Gutted by Flames, Which Swept out, With Ter? rific Heat as Hay in Loft Caught? Firemen Lose Race Horse. The Blending stables were comple? tely gutted by fire Saturday night, everything in the building being de? stroyed by the blaze which was ot short duration, as it was confined to tho one building and there was noth? ing for the flames to feed on after tho foedstuffs and flooring had been burned. Eight horses and one mule were lost in tie flames. Tho fire caught some? where near the center of the stables and while it is not known what caus? ed It, it was stated by Mr. Branding that it may have caught from spark from the chimney of a nearby res? taurant, as this was the only known flro in the vicinity. Tho fire was dis? covered shortly^ before 9 o'clock and in a few.minutes the whole place was a mass of flames, the blaze having spread through the hay and other feed stuff which was piled in the loft *f the building. This sent out a ter rifle heat and, vast clouds of smoke so that t. was impossible to get into the .stahl? a and save any of the animals in it. The brick' walls of the building aided the firemen in preventing the fire from spreading to adjacent buildings and it was not long before the fire was. brought under control. Mr. JJ. D. Blandtng who owned the j stablos stated that the loss on feed stuffs and animals was probably be? tween. 15,000 and $6,000 and this loss' was partially covered by insurance. The half burned animals were burled on, the lot at tho direction of the health officer... Fire (Horse Lost. A feature of the loss which, brought grief to the members of the racing scuad of tho fire department was the death of their recently acquired horse in the fire. This animal had been kept in Blanding's stables since it was bought several weeks ago w and the firemen had intended taking it out to tho reel house in a few days to begin practice. The animal was bought to race at firemen's tournaments and was a handsome animal. The firemen had Paid $260 for it and had been offer? ed considerably more than that since they became owners of it. but refus ? A to sell. There was only a com- f p-uativHv dmall aovant of inyur.mee 1 on the horse. Ail S? JAN At, ALLSTON DIES. From The Daily Item, May 1.
