Three Horses Burned
In Alley Stable Fire

Three horses. the property OF Joseph
Heath. were burned shortly after mid
night last night in a fire in Heath s
stable, in Knox's alley, between Second.
Third, B. and streets northwest. This
alley was the scene of one OF the worst
fires in the District several years ago.
In which a number of fremen were
killed or injured. Two alarms were
sounded as soon as the firemen dis
covered the location OF the blaze. and
reserves from three police stations were
necessary TO keep back the crowd.
The fire was controlled with little diff
ficulty, not having obtained much head
way. Damage to the building is esti-
mated at 800 and to the contents $500
