A DISASTROUS A
Discovered in Time to Prevent q Gen
eral Observation-Disclosures
Work of the Fire De-
partment.

Wednesday morning, Dec. IS, Clar-
ence Skates, who drives the Central
Hotel carriage, noticeda brilliant light
issuing from E. II. Carter & Co.'S. book
store. On investigating he found a
fast increasing blaze in the shelving
on the south side near the front. An
alarm was turned in and the fire COM
pany responded in a remarkably short
time and turned the water on the
blaze, which by this time had assumed
proportions that promised to wipe out
the entire block. The good work of
the fire company was soon made ap-
parent and they had the fire under
control in q short time.
Mr.. Carter told q LEDGER reporter
next morning that the only way he
could explain the origin of the fire was
that a mouse must have. carried a
match from the back end of the store
to the front and then ignited 1t by
gnawing the sulphur end of 1t. Mr..
Carter estimates his loss at between
$1,000 and s2,5OO. His insurance is
$1,000 with Hopkins & Ricketts,, $1,000
with w. 8. FowIes and $500 with J. D.
Tucker & Son. The insurance will be
adjusted at once and Mr.. Carter ex-
poets to be in running order in a few
days. A large amount Of the loss was
due to water.
The scene In the Central Hotel was
one of pandemonium and 1t was rapid
Nv being cleared of guests In various
stages or undress. It looked for . time
as II the hotel would burn, a. IL likely
would have done had it not been for
the extra efforts put forth by the fire
department. The store room belongs
to Lewis Hord and there was no in
surance on il. The loss Ia estimated
at about 800.
