A two story wooden Davis stable burned in a three alarm fire just after 11 pm in the South End. The blaze destroyed the building and thousands of dollars worth of autos and carriages, drove many families from their homes, and threatened nearby tenements as Engine 21 house roof caught fire twice.
Three alarms sounded as Engine 21 responded to a rapid succession of fires. The Northampton Street stable and Reed Street corner structures burned, threatening nearby wooden tenements. Chief Taber Mayor Curley Salvation Army fire squad assisted while a second alarm sparked West Canton Street work. Hoseman John F. Horgan of Engine 6 was hospitalised with a 14 stitch ear wound.
Flames from the Davis stable on the corner of Harrison and Northampton drove tenement residents to flee with blankets. City Hospital doctors aided evacuees as wind fueled sparks to the hospital roof.
