Firo nt one o'clock last night gutted tho interior of the barn on the premises of Dr. D, E. Morrill on west Fourth street, causing a loss which is placed at about one thousand dollprs by the owner. The insurance held was ?100 on the building and $200 on tho contents. Tho origin of tho fire is a mystery, ns the building is electrically lighted, and no other light had been used. The lower floor of the barn had been used ns a kindergarten room by Miss Alma Morrill and ope or two girl associates, and they hud been in the building during tho early part of tho evening and when leaving everything was in good shape. Tho fire started nenr a window on tho alley and may hnvo been of incendinry orgin. On the second floor was stored tho winter clothing and furnishings of tho family, and those were completely des troyed, together with many other articles of value. The Are had gained considerable headway before discovered, but was quickly extinguished after tho arrival of the hose company. Busy Day for Firemen. . Sunday was a busy day for the fire laddies, no less than four alarms being turned in. Tho first was just before noon, due to burning prairie near tho Standard oil tanks in the oast ond of the yards. A. B. Hoagland and others extinguished the burning grass. In the. afternoon the Frank Kemp house near the new round house was burned to tho ground, there not being sufficient hose at hand to reach the building. Kemp succeeded in carrying out mo3t of his furniture. Lator in tho nftornoon a pile of tios in the east end of tho rail road yards caught fire but the flames were easily subdued. The fourth nlarm was false, at least the fire could not be located. Listed For Quick Sale. Two nice corner lots with five room house, large barn. Only two blocks from north side school.
