FIRE DESTROYS

Brunswick, Ne, July 1.-An alarm was
rung in from Box 81 at l. As this morning
for brisk blaze discovered by William
D. Edwards in his livery stable located on
Main street Just at the rear of the large
Crawford block and next to the Pastime
theatre, The large stable was a roaring
mass Of flames in five minutes after the
blaze was discovered, and although seven
line Of hose with 50 pounds water pres.
sure were al work in less than 10 min
Gtes, the stable was destroyed and four
horses and most of the outfit outside OF
few carriages and wagons were burned.
Mr., Edwards had driven to the midnight
train leaving his stable about II 10 and
from the train conveyed passengers to
Durham, arriving at the stable again
about 40 Coming down Pleasant street
he saw a light from the stable which he
thought was from an electric light which
he had left on Arriving at the stable he
found the building in flames along the
rear wall. He got into the office and
aroused his assistant Byron Hammond
who was asleep. Hammond cut the
horses loose but could not get them out
of the stable. The removal Of the car
rlages and wagons was all that could be
accomplished. There were no transient
horses in the stable. The stable was cor
nected with the large Crawford block and
j low buildings.
n In this block is a restaurant and con-
81 fectionerY store of Morton Bros, the
d L.. y. & w waiting room, the Wo-
mans Exchange, While living apart

ford is the owner of the block ana sta
hle. Mr.. Crawford estimates mis- loss
on the stable at $500 with 200o i;isur-
ance. and on his block b. scorchin, :
about 5000. Mr., Edwards loss is about
$1,000 with $500 Insurance. Tho Pasti!ne

caped because of the asbestos ooverin"
