SMALL BLAZE.
Fire Department Called to Hus'
tace Stables on South Street.

At about 1890 p. m. Saturday an
alarm of fire was turned in from the
Hustace stables on South street near
King.
Just a little while previous w. H.
Hoogs, who was attending to some mat
tiers at the stables, noticed volumes OF
smoke arising from large rubbish
heap to the rear OF the premises. The
drivers of the drays were lounging
about the yard, having just completed
their monday meal, and had not MOTTO
ed the fire.
There was soon big blaze which
was urged on by the strong breeze, and
there was imminent danger of the fire
being communicated to the coal in the
shed near by. The Portuguese labor
ers were set to work beating out the
flames until the chemical engine ar
rived and got in its work. The flames
were soon under control. The only
damage done was the destruction OF
the rubbish pile.
1t is thought that the fire was started
by some boys playing with matches
near the rubbish pile.
