burning of eight ne horses in the Lyl
Bros. Stable. OF these two belonged t,
III. N. Wade, of nota, two to J. E
Crabb, two to / , brothers, and ont
each to Andy Fls i and Bryant Bros
The other horse were cut loose ant
made their escap although some wert
badly burned.
A fire was 9 covered by Barney
Hattrup IN the r of his saloon ant
about fifty feet pm the livery barn
and this was no ooned extinguished
than the stable seen to be in flames
The appearance the first fire indicated
that it was purpc sly set, and the two
breaking out at same time is ample
proof that it was ncendiary. A party
was suspected ans persons were set to
watch him, but b. strategy he escaped
their attention. searchers were i'm
med1ately started nt AFTER MN ana ne
was captured ne,r Staley. He was
given prelimina Z examination yester-
day afternoon, be on account of the
absence OF important with esses the
case was carried over till this morning.
The fellows nau1e is E. Brownfeld. He
is now in the town cooler" He pro-
tests his innocen a but circumstances
are greatly againss him.
During the fire VIM. Brabyn burst a
blood vessel by wer heating, w. R.
Stephenson, draushtsmsn for the Nor
thern Pacific company, had his leg
bruised by falling timber, and Chas.
Lawrence was Frustrated by heat and
excitement. Several persons were some
what burned, and Isaac Newton had his
hands, neck and scalp badly blistered
by going into burning building in
which it was reported a man was burn
ing. No one was in the building, how
ever.
The artesian wells were all opened
up and the supp Of water was un-
limited, but with enly buckets to throw
it it had but ittlf effect.
kilograms have been received from
different cities offering aid, and
both railroad cor sanies viii carry pro-
visions, tents, etcs free of charge, and
the agents Of tx COMPANIES have re-
quested the ofici Is to give low rates
on carrying ouil6fsg material. Most of
the provisions i ths town were de-
stroyed, and fars svho have butter
eggs, chickens, vegetables, ETC., for sale
are requested to bring them in and
place them on the market.
The wooden buildings on the north
side Of Main street have always been a
menace to the town, and now that they
are burned and fire limits have been es-
tablished the town will build up on a
safer basis. Handsome brick blocks
will be commenced as soon as arrange
ments can be made, and in a few months
the great fire of July 3rd will live in
memory only, and the scar which it
occasioned to the town will be lost to
sight.
The characteristic grit and enterprise
of Pullman's citizens is showing itself in
the rebuilding of the town, for within
twentv-four hours of the time the fire
started frames for several temporary
store buildings had been erected among
the smoking ruins. Pullman's water
supply is unlimited; yet this counts fol
but little unless means are provided fol
handling it. The HERALD has on many
occasions placed the matter before the
public, and the purchasing Of the neo-
essary apparatus has as many times beer
postponed, and to-day sees nearly every
business house destroyed when the ex-
penditure of a few hundred dollars, in
time, would have saved good share Of
the city. A stream of water thrown OF
the fronts of the brick blocks on the
south side of Main street would have
kept them from burning, but as it was
little water reached them.
