THREE HORSES LOST
IN AN EARLY FIRE
Three Small Fires During
Last Evening in
FL PasO.

Three horses were burned to death in
a fire which occurred in some sheds at
tn rear of Geo. W. Wiley's express
stables at Seventh and Oregon streets
Thursday morning at Sis.
Because someone had stolen a horse
from there several nights ago, the owner
locked them in their stalls. When the
fire broke out, the animals could not
escape and were burned to death.
There were three fires between z and
s o'clock Wednesday evening. The first
Of these occurred in a bedroom at the
home of g. T. Newman, 1906 Montana
street. and did but slight damage. The
second was in a room at the Palace hotel
on South FL PasO street, and originated
in a wardrobe. The damage was very
small. The third was the burning out of
an electric meter in the store of the
Billings Piano company, at the corner
Of Texas and Stanton streets; no dam
age was done of consequence.
