Fire at Battle Creek Sanitarium Stables

MONDAY evening, the 18th, the property of the Battle Creek Sanitarium was again visited by fire, the Sanitarium stables being consumed, and one human life sacrificed. Thirteen horses which were in the building were burned to death. Two men were in the building when the fire started, one of whom succeeded in making his escape. The remains of the other, a man named J. B. Paul, were found after the flames subsided. The fire is believed to have been of incendiary origin.
