A Small Fire.

A small stable 10 the rear of O'Donne'l &
Co.'S store was discovered TO be on FIRE about
O'Clock Friday night. and in few minutes
the wbole building WAS 10 blaze WheH
the fire department arrived Grahams large
sale stable was in imminent danger, as it
was but few fee' from th- burning building
Three lines Of hose were stretched and in a
short time the fire was extingn he'd No
damage was done Graham's Stable and the
entire loss is not great. 1hirty-6ve bushels
of pes and a lot OF forage, which were stored
in the stable were burned.
The FIRE would have heen gotten under con-
troll much more quickly had the hose not
burst almost as soon as the water was turned
on, thereby causing several minutes delay
A nearly every FIRE the same accident occurs
and to an onlooker it appears that heavier
hose s needed to stand the pressure The
city should purchase sufhc'ent quantity Of
heavy hose to replace the light weight bose
now ic use
