FAIR GROUNDS FIRE
Forty-Five Stalls are Burned
to the Ground.
ANDERSON LOSES 5000
Horses are Gotten Out With
out Loss or Injury.

The big fire which occurred at the State
Fair grounds Tuesday night was seen from
the high and elevated portion OF the city.
No alarm could be turned in as the grounds
are outside OF the city limits and the by
drant service does not extend TO the
grounds except for private use. The fire
was first discovered about s:45 al night in
one Of the stalls in the middle of the east
and west string. The IRE burned both
ways until about forty-ive stalls had been
destroyed. Others would have met with
the same fate had not II. c. Ross, who
lives in the vicinity Of the fair grounds,
gone to the scene of the connagration and
by the advice of mis- father. ]. NJ. Ross.
proceeded to demolish several of the stalls
q short distance beyond where the flames
were gradually heading for. Ross at
tackled the buildings with an ak and soon
had several of them laid low, but just al
the time when the flames had caught up
with where ne commenced 10 chop the
stalls down. Quite a number OF fine bred
horses were in some of the stalls located
at another point on the grounds, but as
it looked at one time as If everything was
doomed to go, the drivers and trainers
turned the horses loose and begun TO pre-
pare to save their property. One, Mr.. An
derson. was not so fortunate as some Of
the others. He had a coat burned, among
other things and in the pocket of his coat
was about $500 in notes and $500 worth of
memorandum accounts.
There were no horses burned and all OF
those turned loose were caught again, eX-
cept one black stallion which had proba-
bly, strayed off further than the rest The
fair grounds are owned by the Keene Syn
dictate of New Hampshire, and is under
lease to the State Fair association for the
ensuing year. Mr.. Sims. who is the local
of the company owning the
property, estimates the loss between $1,000
and 81. 500 He had not heard of the fire
until informed yesterday noon by a resi-
dent who lives near the scene of the fire.
Those who saw the illumination supposed
that it was some wheat or straw stacks
much farther away.

Mulvane grow from struggling little
