FIRE AT WALLA WALLA. .1 County Fair Grounds Buildings Burn With' Loss of Nearly $13,000. ; Walla walla, Aug. 10. Loss esti mated at between $10,000 and $13,000 partially covered by Insurance, was suffered by the Walla Walla County Fair association, shortly after 10 o'clock yesterday morning, when fire started in the dry grass Just west of the race track fence by sparks from an O. R. tc N. locomotive, caused the destruction ef practically all. of the stables and stock pens of the associa tion. Before it was known that the fire had been started, spcrks from the burning grass were carried into the chaff and straw in the cattle pens along the western fence, and within a few seconds be structures were In flames, which spread as though the pens were filled with gunpowder. Immediately the i men employed at the track took up the work of releas ing the horses In the four large sta bles, and before the flames had spread to those buildings all of the animals, among them a number of promising prize-winners Just being developed. had . been liberated, and much of the paraphernalia taken out. An alarm was turned In to the fire department, and in a comparatively short time the apparatus was on the scene. Owing to the fact that the fair grounds are located beyond the city limits, where water for fire protection Is not available In large quantities, the firemen were handicapped In their work because they had to lay about 1,' $00 feet of hose before water could be secured. Nevertheless, members of the department accomplished excel' lent work In preventing the flames from spreading to the pavilion and the grandstand, some distune to the east, but In danger of being destroyed. Small buildings outside of the fair grounds to the west. Including the Walla Walla carpet factory, were In danger of being burned, and the fire boys succeeded in preventing a spread of the flames to that quarter, but not before seven buildings of the assocla tlon had gone up In smoke.
