12 HORSES BURNED.
One of Lee Bros. Large Barnes
Goes up in Smoke.

One of Lee Bros. large horse
barns, on the Boulevard, was de
stroyed by fire just before mid
night last Sunday night.
Eleven horses and six mules
were in the barn. The fire was
under such headway before it was
discovered that the horses could
not be gotten out and one mule
also perished.
The fire department was on
hands early, but there was but
little that could be done, tho the
department by hard work, no
doubt, saved the large main barn
on the west.
1t is thought that the fire was
started by tramps, who accidently
dropped a match in the wrong
place.
Lee Bros. place their loss at
about 5000, partially covered by
insurance.
