A Dangerous Fire

About 1 o'clock last Mon day afternoon fire was dis covered burning in several different places in the corral in the rear of the old Smith livery barn. The fire had evidently started from sparks blown by the high wind from a Santa Fe freight engine.
 Those who discovered the fire gave an alarm and in a few moments a large num- Der of people were at the scene fighting the blaze. The hose belonging to the town was attached to the railroad company's water tank, and after some delay sufficient water was avail able to check the fire. A chemical engine brought out by L. E. Carron and other men from Rabbit Bros. did good work and the fire was finally eXtinguished.
 The barn was filled with baled hay belonging to Bab- bit Bros., and had this caught fire it would have been impossible to save the building, as well as many other structures near by. The same engine that start ed this fire also started a fire in the corral back of the Overland garage building. This was eXtinguished easi- ly.
 Every fire that occurs in the town emphasizes the need of fire protection, such as would be secured by a waterworks system. The town may not always be so fortunate as it has been in the past.
