A SMALL FIRE.
Caught From a Cot Too Near a Hottl
Crate,

This morning a fire broke out at the
discovery by Clerk r. G. Collins, the
prompt action by Manager C. j. Wood
and the work of the fire department,
might have resulted In damage to the
building. The fire apparently started in
the office, and was caused by a blanket
falling from a cot occupied by one of
the employees, and near the office CRATE,
catching fire. The blanket was drenched
with water until it was thought it had
stopped burning, and it was thrown on
he floor. 1t seems, however, that the
fire was not entirely extinguished, and
in a couple of hours ate through the
floor at some dry spot. The first dis
covery was about 4 o'clock in the morn
ing. About I o'clock the smoldering
and the flames underneath had gained
such Roadway, however, that smoke
filled the office, and the fire department
was called out. There was a prompt
response, and in a very short time the
fire was under control and extinguished.
The loss is slight, and the repairs will
probably cost $50. The building is in
sured for So, 500. None Of the guests left
the building or We're scared, and there
was no excitement about the hotel or
on the streets. In fact, very few people
knew of the occurrence until late in the
day. Great credit is due the fire depart
ment for its prompt appearance and
good work, which was greatly appreci-
ated by Mr.. Wood and the guests in the
Santa Fe new Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1898-1951, 1899-10-31
