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.
