A small frame shanty, tenantless, nearby, was also burned down. It is supposed some rascal set fire to the roundhouse structure. There was considerable excitement in the vicinity, and a large crowd quickly gathered at the scene. There was no chance to put out the fire, and it just naturally burned out. There was no insurance on the building.
