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.

Children Bitten by Mad Dog.
On Friday one of Mr. Oliver Hodge's
children and two of Mr. W. L.
Osteen's children were bitten by a dog
belonging to Mr. e. .D. Cockerel. The
dog was a collie and household pet

before, and the parents to bo on the
