The Dallas Daily Herald, TX, October 01, 1885…
“Tonight about 10:30 o’clock, a lively fusillade of firearms attracted everyone to the streets, when it was discovered that the shooting was to give the alarm of a fire in the southeast part of the city, near the Fair Grounds. Upon arriving at the fire, it was discovered to be the dwelling and store of Mr. F.M. Aspley, out on Walnut Street. Mr. Aspley was found comforting his houseless family and trying to make his best of the disastrous conflagration.
Mr. Aspley stated that himself and family had retired for the night, when he was awakened by hearing a shooting and someone crying “fire.” He saw at a glance that his store wagon was on fire, which immediately adjoined his residence. He hastily summoned his family ad began removing what articles of furniture that came first, but the buildings being of wood, he had barely time to save anything of consequence. Both buildings and contents were almost a total loss. But he is insured in the Sun Insurance Company of New Orleans for $400 on the residence, and on stock, $400 in the California Insurance Company. Price and Jones are agents for both companies.
He valued his dwelling at $600, stock at $400, and store building at $300. The house adjoining belongs to Henry Burton, and although but 20 feet from the store, was not burned, except the paint was a little scorched. Mr. Aspley and family will be kindly cared for by the citizens until he can either rebuild or rent a suitable building. This will be very hard on him, as all he had is this world was in the building.”

Sherman, A Fire in Denison – Criminal Matters – Other Items of Interest. Special to the Gazette
Sherman, Tex. Oct 1. -- ….Your scribe took a run over to Denison last night and while he was gone, a small fire occurred on South Walnut street that consumed the residence and adjoining grocery store of Mr. Frank M. Aspley. He had closed the business house about 9 o’clock and shortly thereafter retired for the night in his residence, standing ten feet to the south of the store.
About 10:15, the neighbors discovered the flames that had enveloped the whole interior of the grocery and were licking their fierce tongues through the apertures near the roof. They raised the alarm and ran to the place to find the whole family asleep and utterly unconscious of the work of the destruction that was going on a few feet of them. Mr. Aspley broke into the back door , but found the fire too far advanced to save any of his goods, and all parties turned their attention to saving the household effects. These were carried into the back yard in time to save them, when the flames communicated to the house. The only water near was in the family well, which stood so near the flames that no one could approach to draw it.
The fire department was not represented except by the hook and ladder company; as the engine was useless without water. About daybreak this morning the six feather beds and bedding with all the wearing apparel of the family, that was thought to be safe in the back yard, was noticed to be on fire and before anyone could prevent they, too, were consumed.
The residence and fixtures were insured in the Mutual of New Orleans for $600, and the grocery and contents in the Commercial Insurance Company of California for $400. Mr. Aspley estimates his loss at $ 1400, not including the beds and bedding. The origin of the fire is a mystery from the first, but the peculiar fire of the stuff in the back yard points directly to some malicious incendiary.
