A d.sastrous fire broke out at
Centralia Friday night and before
it could be extinguished a large
ware house and a barn were com
pletcly destroyed together with all
the contents. The fire was first dis'
covered abont six o'clock in the
evening, in Patrick Bradley's bam,
and spread rapidly until a ware
house owned by William Davis was
enveloped in flames. An alarm was
sounded, and the fire company
quickly responded, and soon had
three streams of water at work, Mil
the burning structures. Owing to
the large quantity of hay and com
bustible material in the warehouse
it was impossible to save the build
ings and the firemen confined their
efforts in confining the fire. Mr.
Davis loss, beside the warehouse,
is about Siooo in stoct, such as
flour, hay and other merchandise,
while Mr. Bradley's loss will foot
up to about $200. The general im
pression is that the fire was of in
cendiary origin.
