A HOTEL BURNED
TO The GROUND
Early Morning Blazes at
South San Fran
cisco.
Occupants of the Point House
Lose All Their Personal
Effects.
The A. Steiger's Sons Pottery at First
Supposed to Be the Seat
of the Fire.

The Point House, a two-st frame
hotel situated near the packing house OF
the Western Meat Company at South San
Francisco, was totally destroyed by fire
early yesterday morning. The fire was
discovered by James Lindhood, who was
asleep in the building at the time the fire
broke out. Only one OF the remaining
ten boarders was in the hotel at the time,
most OF the others being in the City.
An alarm was turned in at the packing e.
house, and Immediately afterward an
alarm was sounded at South San Francisco,
mile and half away. The fire equipment
at that place consists of single hose
cart and, as there was no engine to pump
the water to the building, nothing could
be done to check the progress of the
flames. Besides the alarm in the town,
the whistle of the theater train which was
just passing South San Francisco at the
time served to arouse the residents of the
vicinity.
All the belongings of the boarders that
were in the building were destroyed. One
of the men had left $40 in gold in his
room, and in the morning he discovered
It in a molten lump among the ashes.
The hotel site is only few hundred
yards from the pottery OF A. Steiger's Sons,
which was located at Baden less than
two years ago. after being burned out at
San Jose. 1t was thought at first that the
pottery was in flames. on account of the
great illumination made by the fire.
The building was the property of the
until the LIST of June TO r. Williams. The
greatest loss falls upon the boarders, W he
lost their belongings, the building itself
having been insured.
