Goolsby and located east of the Burlington depot was burned to the ground about ten o'clock Sunday night. With the build- ing were , destroyed , twelve head of blooded hogs , about twenty tons of hay , considerable grain I and some valuable tools.

The blaze could be seen all over the city S and far out into the country Mr. Goolsby carried about 5500 insurance on the buildings and . contents , but this will not nearly cover the 10sR. It was supposed that the fire was started by tramps who had gone into the . barn to sleep. , Revengeful Hoboes. , Saturday night Officers Brown ' . . * - " and Camblin arrested two hoboes and placed them in the city jail , but only after a desperate strug- gle Sunday morning the prison- I ers were released but later went back to the jail and in a spirit of revenge set fire to the straw bedding in one of the cells The fire occasioned a great loss of life as a hat belonging to one of the hoboes was consumed together with all the inhabitant : : . thereof. The jail was uninjured . as the fire was soon discovered and extinguished. It is the opin- \ ion of many that these same tramps had something to do with the fire that destroyed A.
