Another Hobart Fire.
Livery Barn. Feed Stoie and
Other Buildings Burned -Four
Fires in Month.

Hobart, Okla, March 70. This
morning at 4 O'Clock the people Of
Hobart were aroused from their
peaceful slumber BY the ringing Of
bells and the screaming Of whis-
ties, signals Of fire.
A wild rush was made for the
locality Of the hrmes. II was
found to be a livery barn belong
ing to J. r. Witte, Of this city.
But short time elapsed after
the fire started, before the build
ing fcll III with a crash. Very lit
lie was saved from Tie barn, ex-
cept All horses but three which
were cremated in their stalls. The
origin Of the fire seems to be ut
terly unknown. BY heroic work
no other buildings caught FIRE.
II seems to be the history Of Ho-
bart fires that they do no come
singly Later this morning at
$50 the fire alarms were pealed
throughout the q:siet city. South
Main street looked to be one vast
sheet Of Aamc, Calgec s. Harris
feed store was the origin Of this
fire. The flames began to spread
north and soon two other buildings
were enveloped. One was q room
ing house, the other a residence.
Splendid work was done 70 save
the nearby buildings, and in a
short time the fire was under con-
troll. This makes four fires within
the last month and the citizens Of
Hobart realize the necessity Of
taking some action in reference to
the origin Of these conhagrations
This afternoon a mass meeting is
called in order to take some steps
toward Kidding the town Of some
criminal or criminals who seem de-
tcrmincd to lay waste the entire
city
