       1907- The weather was clear and very cold with the temperature
       near 10 degrees.  At 1:49 a.m. a passerby pulled Box 12 located
       down in Shipoke at Front and Dock Streets.  The fire was located
       at the rear of 425 Showers Street in Shipoke.  A two-story frame
       stable owned and used by First Ward Alderman Dr. John B.
       Nicholas was fully involved when the Paxton Engine No. 6 arrived
       and got in service with a line of hose from their steamer.  Two
       carriages and a wagon were quickly removed by the help of
       neighbors and firemen but all the hay, feed, harness, and other
       horse implements were lost. Fortunately there were no horses in
       the building at the time. Origin was never determined.  Loss
       estimated at $800.
