II eighty horses and large
amount of feed. harness and
tools sums up the losses by the burning
of the Stockyards stables early yester-
day morning. The money value of the
property is placed at a figure which will
be close to $4,000, by conservative esti-
mates, though the gross figure of Treas
urer Ward is 100000. The insurance
upon the buildings and contents, car
ried by the company, amounts to $4,000.
Much of the loss falls upon private par
ties, whose horses and carriages. drays
and harness We're in the burned build
ing.
All day yesterday a crowd gathered
about the scene of the destructive fire,
while upon the still smoldering ruins
there were poured several streams of
water Heaps dotted the wreck, mark
ing the death-spot of some animal
which had not been released from it's
fiame-swept prison. In nearby stables
were other dumb sufferers by the fire,
under treatment which may lead to re-
covery from the severe burns, while
fresh carcasses in the lots behind the
ashes showed that many of the horses,
badly injured in the blaze, some blind
ed by it. had been put out of misery by
the veterinarian. The horses destroyed
world have an average value of $3.50,
and few of their private owners car
ried any insurance upon their property.
