a Hotel Proprietor from sistorsville is
Yictlmized.
Oliver Spear, proprietor OF the Globe
hotel in Sistersville, was the victim of
ono of the most daring robberies on
record yesterday afternoon. Mr.. Spear
had been in the city on business and
started to the Ohio River railroad depot
shortly before the 4 o'clock Parkersburg
train was scheduled to leave. He got
there just rs tho train was about to
leave. There was a crowd around the
ticket window and Spears was afraid he
would miss the train. He was accosted
by a man whom he supposed to be an
employe at the depot, who said he
would get the ticket for him. Spear.
gave him q five dollar bill and got on
the train. He waited until the train
started and rs neither the man, five
dollar bill nor the ticket had turned up,
Spear jumped off the train and investi-
gated. OF course he was the victim of

Shortly after four o'clock yesterday
afternoon an alarm of fire was wrung in
from box %, at Market and Fourteenth
streets. It was caused by blaze in a
stable east of Market and south of Four
tenth street, occupied by Mitchell &
Son, the liverymen. The flames had
gained such Roadway before being dis
covered, and the wooden stable and its
contents of hay were so infammable,
that it looked when the department. ar
rived as if several adjoining buildings
would be consumed, but the tiremen
worked so hard that even the stable
was not entirely consumed, though rem
dered worthless.
In it Mr.. Mitchell had six horses. OF
these three were gotten out by Lieut..
Lukins and others without injury. Two
covery was impossible, and Sheriff
Franzheim shot them to put them out
of their misery. A third was also badly
burned, it's ears being burned off and its
face roasted. It was at first thought
that its life could be saved, but DR..
Refer, after examination, gave it as his
opinion that it could not, and it was
also shot.
The stable belonged to st. James's
Lutheran church, and was rented to
Mr.. W. L. Callen, who sub-rented it to
Mitchell & Son. There was no insur-
anco on it. The loss on building and
contents, not including the horses, will
probably reach $500.
The blaze was very bright for awhile
and the smoke dense, and the fire being
in the heart OF the city caused unusual
excitement, and attracted an unusually
large crowd OF spectators. About q
score Of these got on the roof of wagon
shed below the burning stable, when it
caved in with them, precipitating all to
the ground. Ono boy had his ankle
pretty badly hurt and man cut his
face in the fall, but aside from these all
escaped uninjured, but it was very
narrow escape from fatal accident.
The origin of the blaze is not known.
The usual theory of incendiarism was
advanced, but Mr.. Mitchell was dis
posed to think the fire started from
sparks dropped by an employe who was
smoking while giving tho horses hay.
The blaze seemed to start in the part of
the stable whete the managers were
located.
