FIRE AT LIBERAL.
Livery Barn Destroyed, Also Sew
eraI Head OF Horses.

| From The Liberal News, Dec. 4.
Last Thursday evening at about
1880 O'Clock the Star Livery Barn,
owned by G. H. Merchant was burn
ed, consuming large amount of feed
and hay, twelve head of horses, a
freight wagon loaded with merchan-
disc and several sets of harness.
The origin of the fire is not known.
The blaze started in the south shed
of the barn. The building was in
sured for $500, about one-fourth the
value. Totalloss, estimated, 81, 500.
The first alarm was given by L.
Ward, who had just passed the barn,
and as he glanced toward the east
when near the building adjoining the
post office, he discovered a small
blaze in the shed. He Immediately
gave the alarm. In five minutes
nearly everybody in town was present.
By this time the blaze had spread
considerably, and assisted by light
breeze from the south, the flame was
soon beyond control. The citizens
made an attempt to save the horses
and carriages, but the fire made such
rapid progress that only eight horses
out of twenty were rescued. All
the wagons and carriages in the cor
raj and shed were saved. The
building was 4ox8o feet, story and
half high and built out of pine ma
terial. The fire consumed every
thing within an hour.
The fire hose was brought into
action after considerable difficulty.
The city had not kept the water
plugs in very good shape lately and
there was delay in getting the proper
attachment. There was no regular
hose men no one to look after the
water connection and confusion rag
ed among the people when the
whole town was in danger. A buck
ct brigade was formed and water was
thrown on the adjacent buildings.
After the hose was attached good
work was done in saving the build
ings. The Nichols drug store, just
opposite the barn, was saved by the
bucket brigade. The glass in the
front of the building was broken
out from the heat and the water
thrown against it. The building of
L. a. Etzold and the post Office
building would have caught fire, but
the bucket brigade saved them.
The same force saved the blacksmith
shop of T. w. Campbell. 1t was
very fortunate for the town that the
wind was blowing from the south.
Had the situation been the reverse,
the entire east side of Kansas ave-
nue. would have burned to the ground.
i This is the first serious fire that has
visited the city III many years.

fire: F. R. Huntoon, of Boyd; Frank

Green says his name is not Green,

declined to tell but when pressed a
little by Sentinel reporter he gave
the following story.
He wa, messenger boy in the en-
ploy of the Western Union. Besides
performing the regular duties Of mes
senger boy he ran errands for num-
ber of people. One Of these was a
woman of the half world, by the
name of Lily Evans, who has house
at 1S Commercial street.. For several
years he had been running errands
and in that time she had become in
debted to him for considerable
amount of money which he from time
to time tried to collect, but met with
failure at all times.
About three weeks ago he was
called to the house and told by this
Lily Evans to take her bank book and
deposit for her $130. 90 and leave the
bank book at the bank to be balanced.
He took the book to the bank and
asked to have same balanced, leaving
it there. but stuck the money in his
pocket and skipped out. His first OBJ
