SIX HORSES CREMATED.
Barn Of the Davis County Nursery
Destroyed by Fire.
Especial to The "News.')

Centeryille, Utah, MAY 22.--The barn
belonging to the Davis County Nursery
was totally destroyed by fire this morn
ing, Six valua @--ss"ses We're cremated
and several sets of harness were burned
ZIP, The fire is thought to have been
of an ncendiary origin Sheriff Alb
bolt and one OF his deputies are now
working on the case and the officers
have zone 20 Salt Lake TO apprehend
the suspected party,
The fire was first discovered at 4;45
this morning and before anyone could
reach the barn to loosen the horses the
flames had gained such Roadway that
IL was impossible to enter the building.
The six animals that were burned were
very valuable horses from the fact that
they were trained to nursery work II
IS as hard to get a good nursery horse
as 1t Is to obtain we'll trained fire
equine and the animals will be hard
to replace The total loss is placed At
$1,000. The nursery is operated by Van
Meetcr and Harness who have an Of
flee in Salt Lake.
The flames and the noise attendant
upon the burning Of the barn brought
out a big crowd Of citizens who did
everything in their power to rescue the
animals but their efforts were IN vain.
The neighlng OF the horses could be
heard above the roar Of the FIRE ana
when the flames reached them their
struggles and human-like fhrieks were
pitlful in the extreme until their cries
of pain were silenced In death.
