BIG FIRE..
The Big Livery Barn Occupied
bv Geo. [. Smith Burned.

Since the organization of the But
Ter fire department the first real test
Of the ability of the company to han
die a real big fire was afforded Mon
day at noon in the burning of the
big livery barn occupied by Geo. L,
Smith, on Ohio street, some three
blocks distant from the headquarters
OF the FIRE department. The barn
was 100 feet long and about 60 feet
wide. The NOW contained I or S
tons of hay. The fire originated in
the hay in the front Of the barn and
in less than five minutes the entire
loft was a seething burning mass
The hands about the barn in their
efforts to save the horses and vehicles
had no time to spare in giving the
alarm and by the time the big bell
called the department together the
fire had eaten it's way through the
roof and the flames were leaping at
least so feet in the air the entire
length of the building.
From the size of the structure and
being filed to the roof with infam
able material and the close proxim
ity to several handsome residences
the fire bid fair to be the most disas-
trous blaze Butler had witnessed in
several years.
This disaster to the city was emily
averted by the promptness of the
fire department and the ability with
which they handled the fire.
Parties who timed the company
claimed that in three minutes from
the first tap of the fire bell the com
pany had three streams of water
playing on the fire and in forty min.
utes the fire was out.
Strange to say that with the eight
tons of hay a seething furnace, the
6re was held in the loft and part OF
the roof WAS saved. The sides of
the huge building, stalls and parti-
tions on. the ground flour were not
scorched.
A couple of travelling men present
at the Ere said they had never wit.
messed more satisfactory work by 9

DR.. EveIinpham owned the barn,
but owing to the high rate only car.
ried $500 insurance. The livery
outfit was the property of Geo. L.
Smith. He carried 81, 900 insurance
His heaviest loss will bs feed stuff
Tho horses, vehicles and most of The
harness were gotten out. Two o,
three fine sleighs in the loft were
burned.
Mr.. Smith has rented the Elkhorn
barns, formerly the property of G.
B. Lewis, aud will continue in the
business.
