heir collars we're on FIRE. Three ami
nIais were burned so badly shat ithey
had to be killed at ones, and sooa
many more have probably been killed
sioce. About twenty horses we're
burned. They suffered intensely; some
had their boots burned of, while oth-
ers had the hair all burned of; others
we're roasted alive. Twenty horses
we're burned AID nineteen buggies were
destroyed, and good many more dam
aged. The sight was terrible. Great
! excitement prevsiied during the con-
Asgration. Ii is thought that if half a
dozen good 6remer had been on the
ground the horses could have been
saved; but each one tried to save his
horse first, and some we're 50 much
scared that they didn't dare risk their
lives. Some men have received severe
injuries. The damage is estimated at
over $1,000. ltis reported that the
FIRE originated accidentally by young
man lighting q cigar. He tried all in
his power 10 e1tinguish the flames, but
without success. He gave the alarm
for assistance, and commenced to cut
the horses loose as fast as possible.
Accidentally his knife slipped, and he
gave himself a severe cut in the cheek,
so that the blood flowed freely. The
young man is in great trouble, but be
could not help it; be had done all that
was in his power.
