$4,000 Fire Loss on Smith Ranch
Near Martinsdale Last
Friday.

Fire. which started about four
O'Clock last Friday morning, did
damage to the extent of $35 900 on
the Smith ranch near Martinsdale,
according to advice received here
this week. The loss includes "a
large barn. nineteen horses, among
which was fine imported draft
stallion, valued alone at 1000, a
large quantity of hay, and farming
implements. The fire was first dis
covered by the Japanese cook about
five o'clock, and was then in an
advanced stage. Its origin is un-
known. As the insurance on the
property had expired only a few
days before, the fire means a total
loss to the owners of at least $35,
600 if not more.J. Stanley Smith,
we'll known in Roundup and inter.
ested in various business enterprises
here, is manager of the ranch. AT
the time of the fire he was in Cali
