Arson Fire Destroys Two Stables
On February 2, 1907 at 9:09 a.m. the cry of “Fire!” was heard on the streets of Shippensburg. Soon the jingle of the bells could be heard from the hose carriages as they made their way over the icy, slushy streets on there way to the center of town on East King Street for a stable fire. An arson fire destroyed two frame stables and most of the contents. Damages were estimated in excess of $300. The Vigilant Hose and Cumberland Valley Hose companies battled the blaze.
