SHIPPED CARLOAD OF
IH'TTEH WWHWBAI
HAY WORTH $3600
' DDRNED SUNDAY
Spark from Passing Switch Engine
Set .Monster Pile Afire Firemen
Have Adjoining Structures
A spark from a passing switch en
gine at the Rurlington stock yards
set fire to a pile of hay containing
225 tons, valued at $3600. at 8:45
o'clock Sunday morning, with the re
sult that the pile was practically
total loss. The bales of hay were
stacked in a monster pile, nearly for
ty feet In height, and a spectacular
fire was the result of the spark.
Had it not been for the rare pres
ence of mind of Manager Harry
Johnson of the yards and to his able
direction of the fire fighting an ad
Joining shed containing 240 tons
might have also gone up in smoke.
When Mr. Johnson saw the blaze
start he put in a quick alarm for the
Rurlington volunteer fire, fighting de
partment, who were soon ;tfsisted by
the Alliance volunteer department.
The Alliance department, with only
1500 feet of hose, was unable to
reach the blaze from a city hydrant,
with the result that the fighting of
the fire had to be done with water
furnished by company locomotives.
The fire burned so rapidly that it
was impossible to save the pile, and
attention was chiefly directed to sav
ing the adjoining stock yards and
buildings. After several hours of
fighting the blaze was subdued, but
not entirely quenched, for a force of
fifteen men have been working ever
since dragging the bales out onto the
adjoining prairie and throwing wa
ter on the small tires which spring up
in the pile.
On account of the fact that nearly
every bale was burned on the outside
there will be practically no salvage.
The cost of the hay was about $16
per ton. On account of the fact that
there is now no hay on the market it
was worth much more than that. It
is used for feeding stock in transit
through Alliance.
IjHMt Opportunity to Hear Miss Bur
nett Sing for Some Time, nt
Community Concert
The last community concert to be
held in the Phelan opera house this
season will be given Sunday after
noon at 2:30 o'clock, June 17. This
will be the tenth community conceit
for Alliance. Following concerts
will be held in the open air. probably
at the city park.
The program Sunday afternoon
will consist of three acts from II
Trovatore, the Italian grand opera
Leading singers will be Miss Eunice
Btinett, Miss; Mabel Sward and Mr.
Rex Truman, asstoted by a large
chorus of gypsies, soldiers. priotU
and nuns. Most of this music is fa
miliar to and loved by all.
On account of the fact that Miss
Rurnett is leaving soon for her sum
mer vacation this will be the last op
portunity to hear her before her de
parture. Alliance people and visit
ors in the city are urged to attend
this concert to encourage those who
nre taking part so loyally.
The Alliance Creamery shipped fi
carload of butter to Chicago Wed
nesday, the first full carload for the
season which is fully three weeks be
hind former years. The heavy run
of butter making is now on and after
this carload shipments will be noth
ing unusual for this big Alliance es
tablishment. The cool weather has somewhat re
tarded the manufacture of ice by the
company. However, the warm sum
mer weather appears to be here and
the plant will undoubtedly be soon
running to capacity. Artificial Ire
costs much more to manufacture thin
year on account of the fact tlmt
steam coal cost 300 per cent mort
al the mines than it did a year ago.
The Alliance Creamery has devel
oped from a small business estab
lishment of a few years ago to one
of Alliance's largest manufacturing
institutions.
