LAST NIGHTS BLAZE.
The Fire Was Clearly the Work of an
Incendiary.

Fire broke out last night at mid
night in the stable in the rear of $40
Ninth avenue southwest. The blaze
was discovered by son of Officer Tai
ley, who lives next door, and the alarm
was promptly turned in. The Juniors
were on the ground in short time, but
not before the stable was entirely de-
stroyed.
The fire was communicated across the
alley to the stable of w. II Groves,
which was considerably damaged before
the flames could be extinguished. The
stable which was destroyed was the
property OF Mrs. Jane Davidson, whose
loss will be about 500. Mr.. Groves
loss will also approximate 500. There
WAS no insurance in either case. The
stable which first caught was partly de-
stroyed by fir some time ago when DO.
lice officer Talley lived at No $40, and
the residence was also set on fire while
Mr.. Talley lived there. The FIRE last
night was clearly the work Of an incend-
iary.
