BAD FIRE AT FAYETTEVILLE.
A Three Hours Struggle Before the

fire which at one time threatened TO
involve the whole business section OF
the city, broke out in the woodward
of Walter Watson on Russell street
yesterday. Within twenty minutes
the entire yard was enveloped in
flames and the fire had extended to
the woodward of the Fayetteville Ice
Company. The only thing that pre-
vented disastrous conflagration was
the arduous and efficient Work of the
Fayetteville firemen.
The great blaze is supposed to have
been started by sparks from the sam
ford freight of the Atlantic
Coast Line. So fierce was it's grip that
the Burns Livery Stables and the
wholesale business house of J. II. Gull
breth & Co. for a time seemed doomed
to destruction. For three hours the
firemen deluged the flames with con-
stantly playing streams before the fire
was gotten under control.
The loss of Walter Watson was
about $4,000 and to Burns livery
stables about $500 with some minor
losses all of which was practically COW
cred by insurance except Watson'sy
During the fire Captain j. D. Nc
Neill fell overcome by heat but has
about fully recovered. Too much
praise cannot be given to the heroic
firemen for their work.
