Mr.. Burgers corral was the scene
of an exciting fire last night by
which sixty tons of baled hay were
consumed. The hay WAS piled up
in the east side OF the corral and
capped with five or six tons of al
falfa tor protection from the weather.
1t 10 difficult to account for the origin
OF the fire. A steam threshsr was
run ing neal the corral yesterday,
but the fire wes extinguished and
everything supposed to be safe for
the night. The fire originated in the
south side, opposite the engine, at
about one o'clock this morning.
twenty-five or thirty bales saved,
but the flames spread so rapidly th&s
all efforts were directed to saving an
adobe house containing forty or fifty
thousand pounds of grain which
stood very near the hay. The water
in the bitches enabled the men TO
keep the north side wet ard the grain
was saved. The corral was so crowd
ed with teams and wagons that it
was thought best motto roll the bsled
hay among them, or more might
possibly have been saved. A pur-
chase of $400 worth of balsd alfalfa
was made yesterday and temporarily
stored in the north part of the corral;
this was saved. Fortunately there
was no wind, or the loss would doubt
less have included house, grain, shop,
and wagons. The loss is probably
covered by $500. The moral leans
toward the adobe house and the stor-
ing Of hay in different stacks.
