Fire at Cooper’s Well
About 10:30 Tuesday night the livery
stable a t Cooper’s Well caught fire and
was burned to the ground- two mules

belonging to S. & H. Spengler and a
valuable mare, the property of John
Morrison of Raymond, perishing in the
flames.
The fire, which is supposed to have
been accidental, broke out in the front
end of the building, near the stalls
occupied by the stock, and spread so 
rapidly it was impossible to extricate
the animals after entrance to the
building had been gained by breaking
down the rear door.
The stable was located only about
two hundred feet east of the three-
story hotel known at “bachelor’s
building,” which marvelously escaped
destruction also, as a stiff breeze was
blowing in that direction.
The Loss on buildings and the stock
will amount to about $900.
