had close to $3,000 invested, four
head of horses, four horse tracks,
feed and other miscellaneous arti

figures his loea at close to $1,000.
The only Insurance he carried was

tons, stored In the barn end there
. were e lot o f other things stored,
including the household goods o f
Mrs. R. H. Dunahoo and others, nil

iard the gasoline was Ignited,

J. P. Soper, who lives In the first

Quick response was made by the

■ o re than to prevent the spreading
of the fire to other buildings.
A short time ago Mr. Tlmberlake
sold the lots on which the hern

the building which he planned to
move to another location In the
spring, thus giving wsy for n new
garage which Mr. Anderson plans
