Bangor Is Fire-Swept.

The entire business part of the thriving
city of Bangor was wiped out by fire. The
loss will aggregate over $15O,OOO, fairly
well insured. The fire started just before
the supper hour in the Elsen House, the
leading hotel of the city, from an over
heated furnace in the basement. The
fire communicated to adjoining buildings,
and the local fire department was unable
to cope with the flames. La Crosse was
appealed to for aid, and it made prompt
response, sending two fire companies on
a special train. Before the flames were
got under control the business portion of
the city was wiped out.
