When You and I Were Young — Horses’ Groans and Crackling Flames Heard As Mullen Livery Goes Up in Smoke 48 YEARS AGO Novembee 8. 1900 Fire has again left a grue some track in O’Neill. A lit tle more than a year ago from the time of the terrible fire that destroyed Deyarman’s and Baker’s livery barns the barn and livery Property of P. D. & T. P. Mullen met a similar fate. On Wednesday morning, at shortly after 2 o' clock, the alarm was sounded and people sprang from their beds and rushed to see where the fire was. It is not known how the fire originated. The livery hand had been asleep at the office, but a short time before the fire was discovered had got up to let a man from the country have his team. The fire was so well un der way by the time the fire company and crowd got there that little could be done in the way of rescuing horses and other property and only six head of horses with one carriage was sav ed. The two - story building to the east of the barn, known as the Giddings building, burned and the residence of Neil Brennan on the West was' badly damaged. For a time the flames rolled so fierce it was thought impossi ble to save the Brennan place and the contents of the house were thrown and carried out without regard for doors and windows. Mr Brennan’s house was left standing with a scorched side and several windowless windows and doorless doors. The heat was intense and the groans of ag ony from the horses mingled with the crackling of the flames. The fire boys stayed with the fire and did noble work in keeping i t from spreading to other buildings. The total loss will amount to t4,000, if not more. Mr. P. D. lullen says that their loss is $3,000 with $450 in insurance. Twenty-seven head of horses were burned, 16 of them be longing to the Mullen boys. They also lost 17 sets of har ness, 11 buggies, carriages and a hearse. A horse and buggy belong ing to Doctor Flynn were burned, four horses belonging to a Boyd county man, Jim Brennan a horse and saddle, and Andrew Clark a team and harness. The building to the east of the barn which was' burned was in use by Hotel Evans, the upper story for sleeping apartments and the lower as a sample room. There was some small loss of furniture. The Mullens wil rebuild. 38 YEARS AGO November 10, 1910 J. H.
