HAY MAKES BRISK
| FIRE IN FEED STORE
TWo-AIarm Blaze Causes
$25, 600 Loss After Spread
inq to Warehouses.

Fire. which started at o'clock yes
terday afternoon in the feed store of
J. H. Brewer, 209 18th street south
west. resulted In damage estimated at
$4,000 before it was extinguished.
The origin of the blaze had not
been definitely determined last night,
but police of the 4th precinct ex-
pressed the belief that a lighted match
or a cigarette may have been tossed
on bales of hay near the door on the
first floor.
At the first sight of flames an en-
ploye of a nearly warehouse ran into
his building for fire extinguiSher.
Before he returned to the street the
blaze had eaten it's way through the
ground floor and the flames were shoot
ing up to the second and third stories
AS soon as the first engine COM
panies arrived a second alarm was
sounded. The hay and feed burned
briskly, hrowing up clouds of gray
smoke that could be seen through
BUSINESS section of the north
west.
when the government employees in the
temporary buildings on the Mall were
ending their days work and hundreds
were attracted to the scene by the
smoke. Police reserves were called
to establish fire lines.
approximately So,UUV udHldSe was
done the stock of the feed store. DAM
age to an adjoining livery stable is
estimated at $4,000. and smoke and
water did several thousand dollars
damage to the contents of a nearby
wholesale drug warehouse. Damage
to the buildings themselves was
placed at $4,000.
Above the store of Brewer the W. s.
Hoge Feed Company also had a ware
house. Much of the damage was done
in this part of the building.
Another fire causing a damage esti-
mated at between $500 and $500.
broke out in stable at the rear of
420 I'd street northwest, last night
shortly after O'Clock. The horses
were turned loose and they ran up
I'd street for more than block be-
fore being caught. The stable was
used by three fruit vendors for wag-
ons. horses and feed. The renters
were Louis Roubas of 225 street.
Harris Schallthanos of 20 Madison
court and James Stassenus of 104 K
street. The property damage was
caused partly by the tearing up OF
the roof and floors in order to facil-
itate the fighting of the flames.
