THREE HORSES BURNED.


A fire in which three horses, two wagons
a large amount of hay and other feed and
the two-story frame barn of John Bern
hardt. of 2s19 West Tenth street, were
burned occurred last night at o'clock
The loss is estimated at $1,000. 1t could
not be learned last night how the fire orig
mated, but incendiarism was suspected Mr.
Bernhardt was not near the barn after Z
o'clock When the fire was discovered it
was bursting from the upper part of the
building. The flames had eaten out the
interior and had already burned the three
horses to death. An alarm was sounded
but on account OF the distance of Mr.. Bern
hardt's home from the fire department on
Germania avenue the flames had plenty of
time TO destroy the building. Another great
delay was occasioned when an attempt was
made to get streams of water on the burn
ing building. The nearest fire plug was
several blocks away, and it was necessary
for two hose companies to connect their
lines. The heavy pressure of the water
soon RACED the barn.
