Hutchinson Livery Barn Is Destroyed
by Fire Last Nighf

Hutchinson. Kan, Dec THE
Blue Front livery barn was destroyed
by fire here last night. Several head
of horses were burned within the
building. The great difficulty was in
keeping the fire from spreading to the
Kansas Grain company's elevator and
other buildings.
The building was an old one and not
very valuable. The burning of horses
was the chief loss. This is the third
livery barn which has burned within a
year in this city. in which nearly a
hundred horses have been destroyed.
The cause of the fire is not known.

The city cash Aecount was increased
$50 as the result of the gas business
for November. according to the figures
compiled by Mr.. H NJ. Miller today.
The month is ordinarily one of the

consumed and the revenues were not
as large as they may be expected to be
during the other winter months.
The total receipts for the month

Since he has been in charge of the
plant Mr.. Miller has turned over to
the city $12, 500. The Indebtedness on
the plant still outstanding is about Sill
