STUD SHEEP LOST.
FIRE AT AYOOL STORE. MELBOURNE, Aug. 1. A fire at Goldsbrough Mort and Co.’s wool store at Melbourne partly gutted the building. Many prize and stud sheep penned ready for the show and the sales were destroyed, including 43 valuable stud rams. The police, for the owners’ protection, prevented the owners from trying to rescue the animals. The fire broke out with remarkable suddenness, but the employees were able to save 84 rams by bundling them into lifts and taking them to the ground floor. The sheep were worth on an average 200 guineas each. Eighty firemen fought the blaze, which roared through the wooden store in a few minutes, the flames rising 200 feet.
