GEORGETOWN AFFAIRS.
Fire in Stable Causes Damage
Amount of S75O-Notes.

The Georgetown section of the fire de-
partment was called out yesterday after
neon for fire in several stables at the cor
ner of Oak and Coreoran alleys, in the rear
of 32d street northwest. When the firemen
arrived on the scene the structures were a
mass of flames, and threatened the destruc-
ton of much valuable property adjacent on
M and on 32d streets. The fire fighters,
however, prevented the flames from spread
ing. and quickly extinguished them.
At the time the alarm was sounded there
were more than dozen horses in the sta
bles, in addition to great quantity of feed
and harness. 1t was first feared that the
animals would perish, but the employees of
the owner George Walker, succeeded in
bringing them out of the burning structures.
The grain and harness, however, were de-
stroyed. The damage to the contents was
estimated at $500, while that to the build
ings was placed at $3.50, all of which was
covered by insurance. The origin of the
fire is unknown.
An improvement was noted today at the
Georgetown University Hospital in the con-

seen from the fact that the names

Jacob S. Dyrhaug Postmaster
at Shotley Loses
His Life.
THOUGHT THAT HE FELL
ASLEEP In BOAT.
Boat, Oars and Hat Found on
Shore Monday MO.ning-B0dy
Not Recovered.

Word reached the city this
morning of the drowning Of
Jacob S. Dyrhaug postmaster at
Shotley, in Red Lake Sunday
night.
The postofice of Shotley, where
Mr.. Dyrhaug lived, is about a
mile from the village of Shotley.
Mr.. Dyrhaug had been to the
village Sunday afternoon and
started home in his boat in the
evening. The next day the boat
and oars with his cap were found
on the shore, and it is believed
that he fell asleep in the boat and
in some way fell from the boat
and was drowned. The body has
not yet been recovered.
Mr.. Dyrhaug was a fiddler of
repute in the Shotley Brook
country and was accustomed to
play for dances. On a former
occasion, after playing nearly all
night, he fell asleep in his boat
and was found on the shore next
morning. It is thought that he
must have fallen asleep on this
occasion and thus lost his life.
