Another Fire At Garden Grove

Garden Grove suffered another bad fire at an early hour Tuesday morning, when the big livery barn of J. J. McClung, Charles Fisher's barn and a number of small outbuildings were destroyed. Earl Wagner lost four head of fine horses, which he had in the Fisher barn and an auto owned by George Roberts stored in the barn was burned. The total loss amounts to about $7,000, only partially insured. Garden Grove has no fire protection and the citizens are considerably agitated over their many fire losses.
