THREE THOUSAND
DOLLAR FIRE ON
SOUTH SECOND ST.
Paducah Harness aud Saddlery
Company Severely Damag-
ed by Big Blaze.
Fireman Have Hard Fight in
Business District.
MEN DO EXCELLENT WORK

Fire was discovered in the third
floor of the Paducah Harness and
Saddlery company, 107 South Second
street last night at 1905 o'clock and
damage amounting 70 about $4,000
was done. The fire started in the
third floor. which was vacant, and had
begun burning the second floor, which
is the workshop of the company, when
the alarm was turned in.
When Fire Chief Wood arrived he
had the four companies at the fire to
guard the flames from catching other
buildings, as the annex of the Hotel
Belvedere was in danger. The wind
blew the flames to the east, and they
leaped across the street to the market
house and many bystanders thought
the entire block was doomed. The,
aerial ladder was raised and the fire.
men entered the third floor and fought
the fire to advantage
The Paducah Harness and Saddlery
company has been in business a little
over year. and John Birth. the
Owner, estimated his loss at about
$4,000 with $4,000 insurance. The
building is owned by the American
German National bank. and its loss is
estimated at $500. Mr.. Birth this
morning said that it was uncertain
whether he would re-establish the
company again. The men employed
lost about 5000 worth OF tools with
.out any insurance.
The adjoining buildings we're not
damaged. A door opened from the
second floor to the store of Lou
Allenberg & company, and James
Buchanan, colored, was sleeping near
the door when he was awakened by
"a pet deg pulling at the cover, the
flames were shooting above his head,
and the smoke had almost stihed him.
The fremen did splendid work in
combining the blaze TO the building,
and most of the loss will come from
the damage by water that was thrown
on the stock on the first floor The
fire was extinguished in about an
hour.

BY THIEVES LAST SATURDAY MIGHT
Drawers Searched and Papers
Scattered All Over Floor
No Money in Office.

Judge William Reeds Office in the
Columbia building was entered Satur-
day night by some unknown person,
whose object is not known, but so far
no papers nor anything else has been
missed. 1t will be hard to tell what
was taken till occasion calls for the
papers. The object of the burglar
could not have been money, as Judge
Reed never leaves money at his Office.
The janitor of the building said
that the door to Mr.. Reeds Office was
open when he went in to clean up
Sunday morning and the drawers of
two desks were open and the papers
in them were scattered on the floor
and on the desks and everything in
the room was mussed up. Judge
Reed said he thought that he locked
the door when he left his Office Satur-
day afternoon. but he might have
been mistaken. No clew to the iden.
tity of the thief can be found.
