SATURDAY NIGHT’S FIRE.
The Foreman Livery Barn and Rosenburg's
Poultry House Destroyed.
About nine o’clock Saturday night
the alarm of lire startled the citizens
of Audubon who were pursuing their
usual Saturday night avocations. It
was discovered that the livery barn
known as the Foreman barn, located
one block north of the First National
bank building, was on fire.
The Hames spread rapidly through
the building and by the time the lire
boys were on the scene all hope of sav
ing the barn was gone. In fact the
most conservative could not believe
that anything would stop the flames
before the entire row of frame build
ings were gone, this was largely owing
to the wind which was blowing from
the north. The poultry house belong
ing to J. W. Rosenburg, directly south,
was ablaze next, and about that time
the wind changed to a more easterly
direction, carrying a shower of sparks,
some a foot in leugth and burning
fiercely, into the frame buildings on
the opposite side of the street, igniting
Jump’s blacksmith shop, and most of
the fence on the block. The firemen
turned their attention to this blaze
and after a stubborn light had it sub
dued, thereby preventing the spread
of the flames among the frame busi
ness houses on lower Broadway, the
lumber yards, elevators and Rock Is
land depot and yards. Meantime the
poultry house hud nearly ceased to be.
The fire was communicated to Wil
son’s blacksmith shop, and here the
boys put in a hard fifteen minutes, but
were victorious and stopped the ad
vance.
There are several theories as to the
origin of the tire. The one commonly
accepted being that of incendiarism.
Whether its author was moved by a
spirit of revenge or a desire to see a
lire will probably remain unknown.
The livery barn was owned by Dav
enport parties and was uninsured. It
had been leased by Wm. Dryden and
he had just taken possession that day,
his loss was on feed principally and
was slight. Sheriff Armstrong had a
quantity of baled hay stored in the
building.
Rosenborg's building was insured, as
was Jump’s shop,
Cooley’s livery barn on South Market
street, and the Green Bay lumber yard
were ignited by sparks, but were soon
out of danger.
Taken altogether it was a wild time,
and only tire efficient work of the lire
boys prevented a general conflagation.
The city is to be congratulated on hav
ing such an organization.
The Atlantic fire company, which
had been notified of the lire, hud their
hose carts and hook and ladder wagon
loaded on a special train in readiness
to come to Audubon when they receiv
ed word that the lire was under control.
Our people appreciate the spirit shown
while they feel thankful that our south
ern neighbor’s help was not required.
