NEAR A SERIOUS BLAZE.
Fire Starts in the Central Hotel, But Is Distinguished.

Monday night at 9:30 o'clock fire was discovered in the roof of the Cen tral hotel on De Queen street, and an alarm was turned in. A quick response from the Hook and Ladder company, prevented any serious damage being done.
 The fire originated in the attic over the kitchen. which had been used as a store room, and which had in it some pieces of carpet and other worthless articles, such as would burn reaoily.
 Mir. ]. c. Masters. the proprietor of the hotel, says it was evidentaly set by ssme one Intentionally. as it srarted fully ten feet from any fue or stove pipe, and none of the help had been in the room during the evening.
 This was indeed very close call for big fire as the buildings on both sides of the hotel are of wood and would have burned very rapidly, and had it got under headway Mena's fire fighting facilities would have been inadequate and a large portion of the town would have suffered seriously.
