The large frame stable of Mr.. George
ID. Lambert, which is located OF
College street In the rear Of che Val.
lev hotel. was destroyed by fire Sun
dav morning under circumstances
which We're peculiar. The blaze was
first noticed in the rear of the build
ing shortly after 10 o'clock, aud an
alarm was turned in. The department
responded promptly, but whom the fire
bows arrived ON the scene of the blaze
Tia fire had gained considerable head
wav. and as result the building was
almost totally DESTROYED.
The stable was located in neigh
borhood where the buildings are most
ly frame structures, and where the
street 10 verv narrow. Had it not
been for the fact that the heavy rain
Of the night before had thoroughly
saturated the roofs of the adjoining
buildings, there would in all proba-
bility have been disastrous conflagra-
ton
The department did good work, and
soon had the blaze under control. The
alarm was sounded Ms manv of the peo-
ple were on their way to the morning
services in the churches. and in q
short time great crowd had collected
at the scene of the fire. There WAS
the greatest excitement in the neigh
borhood for time among the adjacent
property owners, whose buildings
were in DANCE. but the work of the
department was such as to confine
the flames to the stable, and no other
building was damaged.
The stable contained a great guam
tity of hay, corn and other feed. which
was all DESTROYED. The horse was got
ten ont by. Martin Quin. who was early
ON the scene, and who entered the
burning building aud led the animal
to a place Of safety. The vehicles and
harness were also taken from the sta
BILE. The loss on the building and
contents amounts to about $500. The
insurance was only 800. and Mr. LAM
bert is out the difference.
There is we'l-defined suspicion
that the building was fred by the same
hand that set the stable in the rear OF
the VALLEY hotel on fire. Both fires
were exactly alike in nature. EARLY

stable, and it is thought that he was

crowd of crap shooters and tin-horn
gamblers have been making the barns

places after spending the night hours
in playing cards and dice, and look

EARLY MORNING BLAZE.
TEE STABLE Az THE VALLEY DE
sTRoyED By FIRE SATURDAY.
hut Fire Department Gets Controls and
Prevents spread Of Flames supposed
to Have Been set ON Fire

Fire was discovered in the frame
stable in the roar Of the Valley hotel
shortly after S o'clock last Saturday
and All alarm was turned in Owing
to the early hour, when few people
were about the fire headquarters. the
department was q trifie slow in resond-
ing. and when the fire boys did arrive
some difficulty was experienced in
making the proper connection at the
nearest water plug.
By this time the fire had gained con-
siderable sheadsvay and was blazing
fiercely. sending up great columns of
smoke and flames. For a lime the
greatest concern was felt, the blaze
threatening to communicate to the
adjacent properties. The fire bows
got to work, however. aud from the
time they turnea the first stream OF
water on the burning building there
was no further danger Of spread of
the fire. They aid splendid and effec-
tive work from the first. and soon had
the blaze under control. Tile wagon
shed. which stood within few feet
Of the stable, and which was on fire
when the department arrived, was
saved, the DAMAGE to it being verv
trifiing.
The blaze was noticed first bv q Dass-
ing workman. who rang tine bell and
informed Mr.. Westphal, the proprie-
tor, of the fire. Two valuable horses
were in the burning building, and
Mr.. Westphal made dash for the in
side to save the animals. When he
opened the door the fire was coming
through the floor above and dropping
into the stalls occupied by the horses.
He led the animals to place OF safety,
but had no time to save anything else
in the building. The upper story Of
the stable was full Of hay, which with
the infiammable nature of the struc-
ture itself. made the progress of the
fire very rapid.
1t was verv fortu nate thing that
there was verv little wind at the time.
for the adjacent buildings were in
imminent danger antil the depart
nient arrived on the scene. After the
fire boys arrived they easily got con
troll of the situation. however, and
kept the blaze confined to the stable.
1t is not known loy the fire or
iginated, but there is pretty we'll
defined suspicion that the blaze was
occasioned By match In the Lands of
a colored man who is thought to have
slept in the hav. and who probably
wanted an early morning smoke. This
suspicion is strengthened bv the fact
that neighbor saw colored man
jump the fence of the stable yard few
minutes before the blaze was dlscov.
cred.
The loss to the building and contents
is estimated at about $3.50. which il
fully covered by insurance. The work
of rebuilding the stable will begin at
once.
