Ridgway Tannery Burned.

The Ridgway Star says the origin of
the fire that destroyed the tanuery at
that place last Wednesday morning is
unknown but the most plausible theory
Is that OF spontaneous combustion. 1t
is estimated that not more than eighty
cords OF bark were burned or destroyed.
The leather in the vats is damaged
somewhat, but the immense stock in
the two drylofts and the brick ware
house, which were saved, is uninjured.
The tannery was insured for $780, and
and the loss is estimated at from $40, ,000
to $500 more. The plant gave en-
ployment to about eighty hands and
had a record of fewer shut downs than
any similar establishment in this part
OF the country.
