A SMALL BLAZE.
A barn belonging to j. s. Mills. To-
Gated near the Raymond station, caught
fire and burned to the ground last night
about IL O'Clock. The structure was
used by Thomas Banbury for the &C.
commodation of the men working for
him on the South Fair Oaks street grad
ing. The entire outfit, together with
the building, was a total loss, entailing
o total loss OF over $1,000, about equally |
divided between the building and con-
tents. One man who was sleeping in
the place, in charge of the teams, lost
all his clothing, together with gold |
watch, while he was getting the horses |
out, which he succeeded in doing just |
in time. When Mr.. Banbury learned |
OF his loss, he promptly handed him
over another watch in place of the one
destroyed. There was small insurance
on the building, but none on the con-
tents.
The fire is thought to have caught
from sparks from a passing locomotive,
II starting in the top of the building.
No alarm WAS turned in, as the building
was too far gone before the blaze was
discovered.
