A DISASTROUS FIRE

out in shed adjoining the Ele-
plant livery stable. owned by MIR.
j. w. Thompson. and before the
fire Fighters could get to the
grounds, the livery stable and the
adjoining shacks and sheds were
doomed.
AS soon as connection could be
made with hydrants. the firemen
concentrated their efforts in con-
fining the fire and p. evening its
spread. Across the street on the
ease, is the fine two story lodging
house owed ty Mrs. Elsie Wilson.
The wind blew from the west and
it seemed impossible at times to
save the clearinghouse, but the fire
men stood their ground stub
bornly in the intense heat and
worked with wet blankets and
quilts around them. 1t was a
pretty fight between fire and pluck
and pack won the day.
While this fight was going on
others were working to keep the
fire from spreading on the west
and south. This took the same
pluck and hard work AS The fight
on the east side of the burning
stable and met with the same sue
cess.
Seine excitment was caused;
during the fire by the report that
a gaoline tank containing 1000
gallons of gasoline was in the line
of the fire on the south and could
not he saved. The tank is in n
wooden shed covered with iron. a
desperate effort was made to keen
the tit1 from this building and to
prev'.t II, iron flou lccun in
hot eloIEh to explode the gasoline
This too was successful and the
town was saved from a holacust.
While we are no alar mist, right
here we wish to say that thu I
gasoline tank in its present loca-
ton is a menace to that part of
town and should be removed at
once. The legislature of 1905
passed an act prohibiting the
storage of explosives in any
unincorporatcd town of the state.
On petition of 10 per cen of
the taxpayers of the town the
commissioners are required To
order the removal of explosives
beyond a fixed quantity. The
people in that section should get
busy.
The o rigin Of tie fire is not
known. Some say it started in
the addition to the livcrly stable
recently built by Mr. Thompson.
and others say it started in shed
in the rear Of the old office of the
Lumber company, occupied by the
Water cOmpany's team.
Mr.. and Mrs. Thompson left
yesterday morning for Starr
valley to visit their daughter.
Mrs. Smiley, and returned last
night. He informed the writer
this morning that from the in
vestigation he had made he was of
the opinion that the fire started in
he shed occupied by the Water
Company's team and shat it was
caused by cigar or cigarette
stump.
All of the horses and most of
the buggies and harness were
taken out Of the burning buildings.
Some hay, little ,rain, one calf
few sets Of harness and two or
three buggies were burned. The
calf could have been easily saved
had anyone about the the fire
known it was in the building.
The old Lumber office was oc-
cupied by Contractor Nelson as
carpenter shop. There was con-
sidcrab lie hardwood lumber, tools,
mouIdigs, etc, in the shop. All the
hardwood and most Of the mould
ings and some Of the tools were
burned.

Sheriff Harris arrested G.. j.
Connolly today for whom he had a

winter from small station on the
Western Pacific in the eastern part
of the county. He has been out
of the state since the Indictment
was found unit ! today when the
sheriff found him in town. He
was probably unaware Of the in

HAVE We A F|RE-BUG?

About 8 o'clock this morning
the hay in John Thompson's corral
near the Western Pacific crossing
on Third street started to burn at
llvely pace. The alarm was
sounded ard in few minutes a
crowd was 1t the fire. Mr..
Tn .mpson and others attached the
hose at Helen Browns to the
hydrant at her house, but the hose
broke and they could not get much
of a stream on the fire. Another
hose was soon attached to a town
hydrant and soon had the fire
under control. The damage was
slight
Mr.. Thompson told the writer
that he could not account for the
hay catching fire ds no one so far
as he knew had been near it,. The
fire may have been caused by a
tramp sleeping in the hay dropping
a cigarette stub. AS this was the
second fire to start in q livery
yard within twcnty-four hours, il
has caused many to think that
81 firc-brg is in town. If such is
the case. God pity him if caught.

when the circumstances justify such
action
Another paragraph reads: Policemen
must not use their revolver except in

SO in such manner that the lives of in

OPENING OF C. & o. CANAL.
Waterway to Resume Operations
About the First of April.

The Chesapeake and Ohio canal,
which connects Georgetown with the
coal regions in the vicinity of Cumber-
land, Md, will be open to navigation,
it is thought, about the beginning of
the last week in this month, and it
will be about the first of April before
the first coal-laden boat of the season
reaches the Georgetown terminal of
the waterway.
.The work of filing the canal with
water was begun at Cumberland yes
terday, but the process is slow one,
and ten days or longer are required to
fill the 1s4 miles of space with water
deep enough to float Il loaded canal
boat. Since the close of the waterway
last fall it's banks have been repaired
and strengthened, and no trouble is
anticipated i'm filling it for service.
During the past winter four new
canal boats were constructed at Cum
berland and a large number Of the old
ones were Overhauled' and made ready
to start for this city with coal as soon
as the shipping season opens.
