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.
