ANOTHER BREAKER BURNED
The waddelI at Winton Prey to the
Flames.

DR.. J. n. Rice's "Waddelr breaker at
N'inton, was totally destroyed by fire
Sunday morning. The flames broke
our at o'clock, supposedly in the
chutes and in three hours the immense
structure was a heap of ashes The
lose is about 10000 with only $4,000
insurance.
1t was new and quite modern
breaker. having been built about three
wears ago and purchased last summer
by DR.. Rice when he added the Waddell
collicry to the holdings of his River
side Coal company.
The breaker had not been put to use,
the coal from the Waddell being taken
over the surface to the Riverside break
er tC be prepared for market. For the
present the head house only will be
rebuilt.
There is a suspicion that the fire was
of incendiary origin The fireman who
was the only man about the breaker
at the time can offer no explanation
OF the cause. All he knows is that the
llames first appeared breaking through
the Chutes.
The Wilson Hose company, of Peck
ville went to the scene and succeeded
in saving the boiler house and other
smaller buildings.
