Three fine horses perished In the
fire that destroyed the Washington
Livery barns, corner of Fourth street
and First avenue south, at 2:10 o'clock
this morning. The fire was of an un-
known origin.
One Of the horses burned in the
great confiagration belonged to the
city and was used in the city water
department at the filtration plant at
times. Another very valuable animal
was the property Of III. A. Klinnsmann
and the third belonged to William
Early, the owner Of the building
Through the efficient efforts of Chief
Sutherland and his men, seven head Of
horses were rescued from the flames.
Little else was saved and the total
loss is estimated at about $1,000,
which was partially covered with In
surance to the amount of $4,000.
The fire started, SO far as was OBJ
served. In the hayloft which was first
seen to be ablaze. Patrolman Cole
man, on duty making his rounds In
that section of the city, was the first
to see the flame. At once he turned In
the alarm, but before the fire depart
ment could reach the burning building,
the fire had made rapid headway in the
hay and grains.
y After the rescue of the horses in the
corral had been effected and the
Washington barns were seen to be in
almost complete ruins, the energies Of
the department were directed on the
neighboring buildings to see that Ghe
blaze did not spread.
In addition to the loss of the threa
horses In the stables, all the oats, bar
ley, bran and other feed grains and
hay were burned along with number
OF costly sets Of harness ana several
vehicles
Mfr. Early himself was the last to.
leave the stables last night He stated
everything was in excellent condition
when he went home The origin Of the
fire Is still a mystery both to the own
er and the fire department experts.
