YESTERDAYS FIRE.
John zelgier Burned Out for the THIRD Time
Fourteen Horses Roasted.

John Zelgier Burned Out for the THIRD Time
Fourteen Horses Roasted.
A fire broke out yesterday morning about
s o'clock in building two doors below
Zegler's stable, on ClOre street, and before
the flames were extlnguished fourteen
horses in the stable were burned 10 death,
the stable badly damaged and two adjoln-
ing small frame structures were entirely
consumed. The total loss is In the neigh
borhood OF $4,000.
Policeman VanaSse first noticed the
blaze, and instead OF sounding the electric
alarm ran to locate the fire and then
went to the tlrs department and yelled
'hre." When the officer first reached the
spot the building in which the hTe
is said 10 have originated was en-
veloped In flames, and by the time
the hose cart reached the scene, which was
about two minutes after being notified, the
old DAILY cabin was also ablaze, AS well AS
the under portion of the sidewalk. The
fire rapidly spread 20 LeigleT's stable, ig-
hitting the second story and basement, and
the burning Of hay created dense volumes
OF smoke, which greatly retarded lire
lighting. The occupants of the upper stO-
ries were hustled out OF their beds by the
crowd that quickly collected on the street,
and TO make sure thing that the people
would get out, several excited in-
diyiduals smashed the windows in
with stones. John Zeigler, the pro-
pnetor uf the building, rushed into
stable and began the work Ot resculng his
horses, and though he nearly sunOcated in
the smoke, succeeded In saving twenty
head. Fourteen horses were sill in the
stalls, and notwithstanding seven or eight
had been unfastened, they would not come
out. bur rushed around frantically and
m0aned piteously. Ten or fifteen minutes
after the lire started the stable was 50
thickly filled with smoke and fire that moth
ing more could he done toward rescuing
the remRlng animals, and they perlshed.
In the meantime willing hands saved two
horses and number OF bug
gies, while seven strong streams
pf water were playing ON the
flames, which had found their way up be-.
tween the walls Of the building, which Is
only plAstered on both sides. II was not
until after the department reached the
scene that q general alarm was sounded In
the city, but this Is accounted for, as the
