FIRE IN HOTEL NORTH.
Small Blaze in the Kitchen Called Out Inc
Department, Tuesday.

At about $40. Tuesday morning, an
alarm of fire was rung in from bcx 3D.
The department responded with its
usual croMptness, and soon had three
lines of hose out ready Cor business.
The fire was in the kitchen of Hotel
North, ana although very small one,
was very difficult to get ut. When tin
hot, was refitted, the old range in the
Kitchen was retained, and it was from
this that the blaze started. catching in
the floor beneath small garden
hose and the chemicals were sufficient
to keep it well under control. Being
confined beneath the floor, some of the
boards had to be taken up but the
damage was not large.
The small amount Of water used
could not do much harm, and none of
the adjoining stores suffered in the
least. The smoke was very light and
hardly penetrated to the dining room
of the hotel. The whole damage was
confined to the kitchen. The loss is
estimated by Mr.. Locke a. $500. This
is fully covered by insurance in Langs-
tons's, DOwning's and Macomber.
