Fire Last Evening Threatened Immense
Property Interests, But Loss
Is Only $4,000.

The stables at the wood and coal yard
of Thomas w. Riley. at Eleventh and
Water Streets southwest, took fire last

of two-story wooden structures. The
damage is estimated to be about SO. 900
with little insurance.
Flames were discovered hy Capt
George Neitzey and George B. Earsley
After turning the alarm attention was
given to releasing the sixty or more
horses imprisoned there. The flames
spread rapidly, and they were forced to
flee from the place, leaving four or five
of the animals which had been trapped
by the falling Of the roof OF the stable.
With the arrival Of the fire engines a
second alarm was turned in. and Sec
ond Assistant Chief Wagner, who re-
sponded, turned in a fourth alarm.
which called out First Assistant Chief
William T. Belt. the head of the fire
