Three Barns Burned to tha Ground
Entire Business Section of City
Was Threatened but There Vas
No Wind - Old Hand Engine Re-1
fused to Work I
The business portlun of tho city of
Springfield bad a narrow escape from I
destruction by Uie ealry this moruiug
aud the absence of any wind was the
only thing that saved it. Threo barns,
one belonging toj. A. Roberts, another
at the Methu.itis parjouaj aai th
thiid owned by Phil Uossler, were
burned.
This morning about five o'clock as
Dan Humphrey was on bis way to
work at the electric light station he
discovered smoke aud flames issuing
from the hay loft in the Roberts baru.
He turned in the alarm aud soon sev
end hundred people were on the sc. ne. j
The old hand fire engine was hauled
i out aud a line of hose laid, but on ;
account of its long disuse the machine
refused to work. After several niin- j
utes of pumpiug aud tiukeriug with
valves the citizens gave up trying to'
get a stream through the Lose aui
turned their attention to some other
means of extinguishing the blaze aud j
protecting surrounding property. A ;
bucket briagde was formed aud men, !
women aud children worked like Tro- !
jaus to stop the flumes. The barns
were situated in rear of the buildings
on the north side of Main street and
i west of the "railroad. They were in
close proximity to the Hotel Spring
j field aud other business buliulugs,
j besides threo residences. Wet blauk-
ets were spread over the sides of thes i
; buildings to prevout the flumes iroul j
spreading to them, aud several email I
; sheds and outbuildings were torn '
, dowu in au endeavor to stay the j
flumes
In the meuatime the fire had spread I
from the first burn to the other two j
aud the buildings were eutirely con-j
sumed, togethe- witn two or three
tous of hay. Several horses, v hides
aud sets of harness were saved. The
total loss will probably reach 8700 or
8800, with no insurance on buildings
or contents.
THERE WAS NO WIND.
Had there beeu the least breeze It
is thought that the whole business
street would nave gone up in smoke.
The air was still, yet there was much
difficulty in preventing the flames
from spreading to other buildings.
The mains for the new water works
have beeu laid down Main street, but
the" water has not yet been turned on.
Had the Are occured a few days later
not more than the first baru would
have been burned as a good stream
from the hydrants would have kept
the tire down.
