lnccndi1ry Fire
The first fire in the business
portion of Holly within the his.


Tuesd.y " morning The building
owned oy A. l.. Hare and occu-
pied BY Jones Bros. as saloon
was entirely DESTROYED, but through
the prompt aud heroic sff Jrrs OF
the citizens assisted by the fac
tory boys the fire vas confined to
that building and NO other mater
ial damage was done.
The Gre was first discovered by
II. A. Hathaway and it had then
attained such htsdwsy that moth
ing could be done to save the
building and all efforts we're bent
toward preventing it from spread
ing. Mr.. Hathaway was not only
the srst to discover the fire but
the indications are that he discov-
cred at about the same time the
person who started the fire. Hav-
inv some business with DR.. Sher-
man he went to his house, passing
in front Of the saloon. He saw no
fire there then. He transacted HIS
business at the doctors, which
probably took three minutes. and
40 he turned to 60 home he saw
the blaze. He went at once to the
scene and on the way and about
half block from the fire he met q
man either running or walking
very ia It In the opposite direction.
He at once connected the man
with the fire SO forcibly that he
determined he would take him in:
and pulling down his eix-shooter
he ordered the man to face about
and accompany him TO the fire.
After the building had burned
to the ground fire was discovered
in the roof of the Dawley build.
ing, but d few dozen buckets Of
water put it out with very little
damage ~ Fortunately the saloon
stood between stone aud a brick
building and few feet away from
each, and as there was no wind it
was not d very difficult matter to
keep the fire from spreading.
The pool and billiiri tables and
a few other fiytnies aerc s;.yed
but all t,ies ock and the most val
liable of the fixtures was consum-
ed, and the loss to the proprietots
is estimated at $1,000 with insur-
ance covering but email portion
of 1t. The insurance on the build
ing was $1,5OO, which is about one-
third what it will cost to repl ace it.
The man arrested by Mr.. Hath
away was Held and 7 uesday after
noon was given a preliminary
hearing before Justice McGlashen.
He was quad oye: to the district
court in the sum of $1,000, and
taken to Lamar to remain in the
county Jail until court conysnes
unless he can furnish bond. His
name is J. B. Henderson, is a
bricklayer, and has been working
at the sugar factory for some time,
having come here from Trinidad.
He had some alteration with the
proprietor of the saloon late Mon
day mig ht and became very much
which caused him to be
suspected of having committed
the crime.
The fire cnused great excite
ment and brought out nearly every
citizen of the town, all eager to Go
what they could to slve the ad-
joining property.
