HORSES SINGED.

During a raging fire last night, supposed
to be Of incendiary origin, that destroyed
two barns belonging TO Fire Chief Devine
and Mrs. Ben Gum. two fremen were
slightly burned. a COW was cremated
alive. two fire horses were severely
scorched and about $50 worth of vaIuable
property was destroyed. The hremen
who were injured were Captain John
Stabb, both hands blistered. and Hose
Wagon Driver Briant Young. side Of
face blistered.
The burning barns were within 100 feet
of fire station No. 4. but the flames had
gained such a start and burned so hercely
portion of the contents and some charred
frame work of the wooden structures.
The cause of the fire is unknown, but it
is thought by Chief Devine that it must
have been of i~ncendiary origin.
The fire was discovered about $50, and
at that time both barns were wrapped in

such Roadway that the flames could be
plainly seen from fire station No. 1 on
Chief Devine was attending a meeting
of the city council when the alarm
sounded. but he was on the scene shortly
ings.
Driver in Peril.
While stringing hose to the fire No. 4
hose cart got between the burning build
ing and the fire station in time to be
caught by a surging blast of flame. and
1t looked for a few minutes as if the
driver and his horses were doomed,
When they emerged from the flames the
driver, Briant Young. had one side of
his face blistered and Ned. one of the
hose horses, had been severely scorched
on one side. The paint was also Scorched
off one side of the hose wagon.
Captain Stabb, while attempting to save
Chiet Devine's cow from the barn. had
both of his hands severely blistered, but
fortunately he was not seriously injured.
The COW was tied in the barn and per
lshed IN the flames, as the fire was so hot
that 1t was impossible for the fremen to
get at her. Chief Devine'S buggy horse
was in the barn, but when one bar that
held him in was lowered he jumped out
of his stall His blanket had become
ignited and he ran for several blocks with
the blazing blanket on before he was
caught and the blanket removed. His
back was severely burned, but the in
Juries are not thought to be serious.
Chief Devine saved his buggy. but a
quantity of hay, some harness and prac-
tically all of the barn were destroyed.
Mrs Gum lost her barn, but it was I'M
used and of small value. Chief Devine
estimates his loss at $500 and Mrs. Gums
at 800 There was no insurance on the
barns.
While the burns sustained by Captain
Stabb and Driver Young were very pain
tul, they were not serious, and after haV-
ing them dressed they remained on duty.
The horses We're not dangerously burned.
