BLACK EARTH In FLAMES
Work of an Inc endiary Causes a Big
Loss in That Place.
Large Warehouses Reduced 10 Ashes
by Flames.
Heroic Efforts of Firemen Get the Fire
Under Control.

BACK EARTH, Wis, Aug. 20.-rhis vii
lsge was visited by severe confsgrstion
this evening and the damage is consider
able. Abont l0:45, fire was discovered in
she large grain warehouse of Mr.. Lsnie,
which was entirely consumed, with
rs contents. Wheat, rye and oats
were stored in the sheds, and the loss on
the warehouse alone will aggregate
$500. The railroad track runs through
the central part of the village and the
warehouse is situated to the east of
the tracks. A heavy south wind
was blowing and carried the sparks
in many directions and for some lit
tie distance. The heroic work of the fire
department prevented the burn
ing of residences but the flames
got too much headwsy and the
cattle yards were also consumed, and
nothing remains but pile of shoulder
ipg ashes where once stood the structures.
Fences, telegraph poles and, in fact,
everything in the vicinity of the sheds
and warehouse melted before the awful
fienG. Citizens assisted the
fire company and before midnight the
flames were under control, but not before
six thcusadd or eight Thousand dollars
damage was done.
The origin of the fire is at present
mystery, but many suppose 1t was the
wore of an incendiary. AT eight
O'Clock two tramps were compelled to
alight from train; and some are led TO
conclude that they in their anger set fire
to the warehouse as revenge for being
disturbed while asleep in side door
sleeper. Should this be the correct theory,
and investigation, will prove som sthing,
the citizens will no doubt lynch the five
bugs if caught, or at least treat them in
such a manner that they will be lucky to
escape without broken .bones. Another
theory advanced is that a spark from an
engine set fire to some
combustibles and the heavy wind famed
the smouldering spark into a flame and
before the fire was discovered it had
gained considerable headway.
