LIVERY STABLE ABLAZE
A Row of Shed Stalls Consumed With But Little Loss.
Night Watchman Walter Houston at 9:30 last evening discovered that the rear portion of the Niagara livery stable at Nos. 303 and 305 East Third street was afire. He turned in an alarm as quickly as possible from the corner of Third and Main streets, but before the engines arrived the flames had gained considerable headway.
The premises at the number given are owned by M. Saunders and occupied by T. O. H. Bogalsky as a livery, feed and sale barn. The main building in front was not touched, but the flames consumed a row of shed stalls in the back yard, ln these stalls were some eighteen horses, but they were all gotten out in safety, and only a little hay was consumed.
It Is stated that the blaze originated In the extreme rear of the premises next door on the east, No. 307. run as the Enterprise harness shop by C. H. Strong. Mr. Strong had stored there about four tons of hay, and it is supposed that tramps sleeping in it carelessly dropped a lighted match or burning tobacco. The fire spread to the west and south with great rapidity, but was confined to the shed stalls.
There will be a loss of 134 to Mr. Strong and perhaps $250 on the sheds burned, all
insured.

CHANGES OF TWENTY YEARS
Visitor Describes Salt Lake as It Ap-peared to Him in 1880.
After an absence of more than twenty-four years, T. O. H. Bogalsky of Los Angeles, Cal., returned to Salt Lake last night, and is loud In his praises of the city. "I left here when there were no paved streets and no electric cars" said Mr. Bogalsky. "I lived here from 1878 until July, 1880, when I left and went to Mexico. From there I went to Arizona, and in 1889 I went to Los Angeles. In 1897 I sold out and went to the Philippines, "When I was here there was a street car line, with one street car, drawn by a team of mules and driven by a man named Dunn. This ran out to Fort Douglas. There was a stone fence around President Taylor's house, and cows were pastured In the streets. The Clift House was at the edge of town, and the business streets of the town were Main and South Temple. There were very few houses beyond Main streeet at that time. "Gen. Smith was in command at Fort Douglas, and had the Fourteenth regiment under him. "From what I have seen of your city now I think It Is the most wonderful city in the world. I have visited many, but the broad, well-paved streets and the method of placing the trolley poles in the middle of the streets should commend itself to every one."

SHELTER TENTS WANTED
Capt. Steere's Bequest—The Young Sisters of the Red Cross Capt. Henry Steere of Battery D writes the Red Cross society in reply to a letter that he is provided with sleeping caps and bandages for all his men and has received from Col. Berry 200 cholera bandages, but would like 200 more, that the men may have the necessary change. They are supplied with eiderdown caps but would prefer those of lighter weight, and suggested large bandana handkerchiefs for a head covering, as they can also be used for many other purposes. Shelter tents are not an article of government issue at present, and Capt. Steere is solicitous about the comfort and health of his men compelled to eat outdoors In the rainy climate of the Philippine islands. "If our Los Angeles friends," he writes, will supply us with four 12x14 tents, called in the army 'hospital tents,' no doubt considerable sickness could be prevented." The Red Cross state association, through Its chief of supplies, Mrs. K. M. McKistry, acknowledges the receipt of another box of supplies from the Los Angeles division. Little Miss Sallie Plater McFarland gave a "fair" for the benefit of the Red Cross, and has turned In the proceeds, $29.7 in pennies and nickles. Miss Marian Adler, aged 5 weeks, is the youngest member of the society thus far. The total membership up to date numbers 330. Mrs. Belle Bogalsky donates six bandages, four pillowcases and literature. The headquarters' workers were the recipients again yesterday of a large jar of lemonade from Secretary Wiggins of the chamber of commerce. New members: Mmes. Elsie L. Hanerlck, Henry T. Lee, B. C. Whitlock, M. S. Hellman, Mary K. Viven, J. E. Plater, Alfred Stern, John R. Haynes, Misses A. Bradfield, Margaret Lee, Mary Lee, Adele Schwareschibl, Carrie Waddllove, Gwendolln Overton, Sallie Plater McFarland, Stephen N. Loew.


This conflict arose when the First Philippine Republic objected to the terms of the Treaty of Paris under which the United States took possession of the Philippines from Spain, ending the Spanish–American War.

The following article appeared in the Los Angeles Herald, on Saturday July 15, 1899:
Mrs. Belle J. Bogalsky petitioned the superior court for letters of guardianship of her nephews George and Charles Knibbs, residents of Niagara Falls, New York, whose father is dead and who have property in this county.


George and Charles were the sons of Isabel's brother Charles A Knibbs and his wife Annie Gallagher. Charles died in September 1885, and Annie in October 1885.

As far as I'm aware, Charles was adopted by Jacob Barthau and his wife Catherine (Gallagher) Barthau, the mother's sister. He can be seen living with them in 1892 as an adopted son.
George on the other hand, may well have been taken into care. I think it's him we see living as an inmate of No.29 Franklin Street, Buffalo City, New York. 29 Franklin Street was connected with the Children's Aid Society and known as 'the News-Boys' and Boot-Blacks' Home' up until 1908. It was for boys who earned their own living from work on the streets.
