Horses Die in Fire

DETROIT, June II R.-A S.

to death early today in a three
alarm fire that destroyed 80 valu-
able race horses in two barns at the

Victims of the blaze included Bell

mond Dick. Bell Buzzer was owned
by David Ferguson, Detroit business
man, and Diamond Dick by George
c. White of Hendersonville, Tenn.
Other owners Of the approximately
100 horses stabbed in the two barns
included l.. G. Bedwell of Los
Angeles, N. T. Mayo of Richmond,
Va, and Otto B. Johr of Detroit.
Several stable hands were burned
and injured as they attempted to
lead the frantic animals from the
buildings. Several of the IS horses
that perished were being led or
driven to safety when they broke
away from the grooms and plunged
back into the flames.
George w. Lewis, general manager
Of the Detroit Racing Association,
said today's program would be held
as usual. He estimated loss from
the horses burned at $20O,00O and
damage to grounds at $25,OOO.
