Destroyed by Fire, Entaiiing Loss Of
ss5 1000, with Scarcely Any Insurance.
CYsTnIASA, KY, August 20.
At an early hour Sunday morning the
large and magnificent stables at Abdallah
Park, owned by W. II. Wilson, the noted
turiman, burned, aud with them seven.

ley, smuggler Boy, Abdallah Boy and llu.
ron. Tho stables, which were the largest
in this section Of the State, are a
total wreck, nothing remaining OF what
was once q beautiful structure. The
cause OF the fire is unknown, but is
supposed to be from a cigar stump
dropped In the stables yesterday. Tho
horses, which had exhibited here at
the fair last week only left for this
place Tuesday evening. Mr.. Wilson's
famous mare, Lady de Jarnette,
and noted stud Simmons, as luck
would have IL, were at the Cincinnati fair
and arrived on the night freight. II the
fire had occurred an hour later probably
both OF them would have been burned.
All the furniture Of Mr.. Wilson was
saved by the heroic efforts OF those who
were there when the fire first began. Tho

Mr.. Wilson used TO train horses
In bad weather and which was first
burned contained oil the stock lost, those

son aud his assistant Mr.. Hendricks. Tho
fire department was called out, but ar
rived too late to give any valuable assist
ance except 10 cool the safe containing
private papers OF Mr.. Wilson, which
was getting red hot.
The loss the by death OF seventeen
horses will amount 10 $4,000. The los.
on the stable Is $4,000. John Honan, q
stable assistant, Is missing and supposed
TO be burned, as he slept Ia the whlts
barn.
Mr.. Wilson has tho sympathy OF The
entire community In his aflllctlon, as b,
had been chiefly instrumental Ia es
tablishing the famous Abdallah Park
and securing the interest which Is mani
tested In horses In this section. Their
was but little insurance on the buildings
and none ON the horses.
