HOUSE BURNED
Another Big Tobacco Fire
at Springfield.
ORIGIN A MYSTERY.
Loss Estimated at SIS, 900
With Some In
surance.
ORIGIN A MYSTERY.

Springfield, Tenn, Feb. 1.-THE
big warehouse of VIM. McMurry
was burned last night, the fire beirg
of mysterious origin. The warehouse
was worth probably $4,000 or S10,-
coo and was formerly occupied by
McMurry as a Reggie house. Nc
hurry owned the building, but did
not attempt to open this season.
The building was leased as a prizing
house for the Dark Tobacco Associa-
ton and it was we'll filled with to-
bacco and prizing had just begun.
The loss is estimated at SIS, 900,
The insurance on the building was
only $1,000. The tobacco was, it is
understood, insured.
One theory is that fire was caused
by the overturning of a stove.
This is the second fire in that
countyEwithin the last ten days.
About a week ago a barn belong
ing to Il. c. Lawrence, at Sadlers-
vile, was burned by night riders,
who shot up Lawrence's house and
wounded him and his son.
