By the time the departmeut arrived the barn was completely wrapped in flames, and, and hard work and the fact that there was not a heavy wind blowing were the only things that kept the city from haviug a vwy serious conflagration. The fire spread from the livery barn to the M. E. church sheds and C. A. Maynard's barn, and these, together with the livery ban, were entirely wiped out. Four horses in the livery barn were cremated and Alderman Maynard barely had time to get his horses out. The Wallace barn was owned by Henry Waldron, and with contents was insured for $000, which covers the loss.
