FIRE RACES IN CORNING Business Part of the Town Burned. WAS WITHOUT PROTECTION CONFLAGRATION CHARGED TO INCENDIARISM. Loss Placed at One Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dolars, With Comparatively Little Insurance. Special Dispatch to The Call. oy CORNING, July 7.—The entire busi- ness portion of Corning was destroyed by a conflagration that started at 2 o'clock this morning. Not a store, hotel or other place of business, save a paint shop, the office of the Maywood Colony Association and the office of the Corn- ing Observer, remain. What was once the prosperous business center for miles of grain country is now but smoking debris. The fire is believed to have started in Aitken’s barn, near the Liersch House. It spread to the Liersch House and Blatchley’s drug store. William Schnit- zer, who was sleeping outside and near the barn, was the first to see the flames and gave the alarm. In a few minutes the streets were filled with people, but they were powerless, as the town has no fire system, and the conflagration already had gained too much headway for them to be able to save anything from the burning buildings. A strong wind was blowing. The fire spread to the Liersch House and Beck- er's boot and shoe store and to the Western Hotel, then across the street north to Hart’s livery stable and Mrs. J. S. Aitken's confectionery store. Again on the south side it caught Wil- liam Liersch’s blacksmith shop and the Corning cash store. After burning the residence of Mrs. Aitkenthe flames took a westerly course, burning Clement’s building, Kaufman Bros.’ furniture store, the postoffice, Donnovan’s meat market, Finck's barber shop and news stand, Kaufman's general merchan- dise stare and Cannon’s blacksmith shop. These buildings, together with a dozen or more barns and outhouses, constitute the burned structures. Most of the buildings were of brick and were completely ruined. The loss will total $150,000. There is little insurance. No one knows how the blaze origin- ated, but it is the general opinion that it was incendiary. About a week ago a little daughter of Mrs. Aitken went into the barn and discovered a small blaze, which she put out with a bucket of water. No one of the family had been near the barn previously. ——— Fire Probably of Incendiary Origin. BAKERSFIELD, July 7.—The bellef is now general that the Kern City fire was of incendiary origin, and arre: are ex- pected. Durlg the fire buildings to the windward were ignited, though fences and outbuildings intervening were not burned. The charred remains of Joseph Gallaud were found in the ashes of the Verdier livery stable to-day. Gallaud worked for Verdier, and slept in the barn. He evi- dently had awakened and left his bed, but could not find his way out in the smoke and heat. SRS A 0 AT Sl mm%mm%mwmmm%m% BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! Our Values Speak Louder Than Shot and Shell!
