Within this barn were stored tho accumulation of many years of business wreckage, house hold goods, harness, wagons, farm Implements, odds and ends of neces sities, hay, and n recently installed creamery. When the fire that tcapod high Into tho ak , and mndo bright as day, ter ritory within six blocks of tho burn ing structure, was at Its height, a klmoua parndo took placo, tho like of which for variety and number haa never been witnessed In Southern Oregon before. Scores of women and girls, appeared thus attired, with their hair braided down their backs. Tho origin of tho tiro Is attributed to two sources, careless tramps and revenge. Toft supports tho tramp thoory. Tho revenge supposition Is strengthened by the fact that those who reached tho fire first noted that tho four corner of tho barn was ablaze aa If a flrobug had dono his work well. Tho firo alarm was turned In at 12:30. and 1000 peo plo gathered to seo tho blaze. Scores of sparrows and pigeons died In the flames, -fho bird wero nwakoncd from their night slumbers by tho bright hltuo, and flew Into tho vacuum caused by tho brat to ho de stroyed In tho flames.
