LIVERY BARN FIRE
CAUSES EXCITEMENT
Barn Man Discovers Flames In Man
Ger About Eleven O'clock
Last Night.

A fire was discovered last night
and extinguished that, had it been al
lowed to burn few minutes longer
would have entailed loss of many
thousands of dollars. The flames
were discovered in the livery barn OF
Drummond and Son on South Fifth
street, and are supposed to have been
of incendiary origin.
About eleven o'clock, the barn man
detected the smell of smoke and upon
investigation found some hay and
cobs burning In a manger at the rear
of the stable. No fire was around the
place for hours before the flames
were discovered and the proprietors
are at loss to account for the fire
unless 1t was the result of q quarrel
that occurred yesterday afternoon be,
tween one of the barn men and 6
negro. The men came to blows and
the barn man declares that the negro
sWore revenge.
The flames were extinguished with
out difficulty or loss and the fire de
partment was not called. Officers are
working on the case and an effort
will be made to get to the bottom OF
the affair.
