Last evening the town again came
very near having serious fire.
About s 80 in the evening the straw
which has worked out through the
cracks on the west side of the Moni-
how corral and strews the sidewalk
The whole length of the corral, was
discovered to he on fire at the ex-
treme snu'h west corner, next to
McNeils harness shop, and had ii
MT been discovered for five minutes
more, the fire would have found its
way to the hay on the inside and
the @ perience of last fall in the
same locality repeated. We have
long noticed ais gathering Of straw
on the walk and felt that it was but
a matter of time till some one would
carclessly drop the stump of cigar
among it, and away would go the
whole establishment. Unless the
corral walls are battcned and great
care taken to keep the straw off the
walk the destruction Of the property
is almost certain, AMI with it pro-
baby the whole block. We cannot
always expect to come off as luc kily
as in the case of the fire last fall
Since the above was written, we
learn that Mi. K. Gartner has been
arrested on the charge of arson, it
being claimed that he attempted the
destruction of Mcneil harness shop |
near which the fire was discovered |
and from which it is claimed he was
tracked.
