BIG HAY WAREHOUSE DESTROYED

-----

Third Attempt to Burn Building

is Successful.

-----

    A hay warehouse of Nash, Robinson & Co was destroyed by fire Monday evening.  The fire started at 7:30 and burned so rapidly that it was an incredibly short time until the building and contents was a charred mass of embers and smoke.

    The alarm was turned in from six-two and the department put up a good fight but it was beyond their power to do more than confine the flames to the building in which they originated.

    The building is the same that had been set fire on two previous occasions. It was moved on this lot about ten days ago and several tons of hay stored therein.

    The fire is of an incendiary origin, very probably the work of the firebug that has been operating in Marlin for several weeks.
