STABLE BURNED-NARRSw ESCAPE OF
SURROUNDING PROPERTY.
Between and 2 O'Clock, Sunday
morning, frame and brick stable be-
longing to VIM. Hare, adjoining his
pottery, No. 212 French street, was al.
most entirely destroyed by fire, to-
gether with nearly all its contents.-
The firemen quickly responded to the
alarm, and though they could not save
the stable they prevented the flames
from spreading to the surrounding
property. For their able efforts in this
direction they deserve great credit.
The pottery and one OF two other
adjoining buildings were slightly
burned by the flames, but did not sus>
tain any serious damage. Some dishes
and crockery ware were broken, but
considering the fact that the firemen
had to take some of the hose through
the pottery, the damage sustained in
this building was very slight. A horse
was in the stable at the time of the fire
but he was safely taken out. All the
other contents, including ton of lay
just put in the day previous were de-
stroyed.
MIR. Hare estimates his loss Mt about
$4,000, which is fully covered by in.
surance in the Farmers Mutual of this
city.
The fire was undoubtedly the work
OF an incendiary, as there was no way
in which the building could have been
accidentally fired, no fire having been
about the premises for weeks.
