head by blazing log, which was
blown from a burning building. 1t is
stated that the woman who upset the
lamp which caused the catastrophe
and the other inmates and occupants
OF the house have been arrested and
may be severely dealt with. A re-
port is also current here that only the
bank OF British North America of the
chartered financial institutions was de-
stroyed, not both it and the Bank Of
Commerce.
Riley, Toklas and Humes, the men
who brought out the news OF the fire,
are reported to have collected hum
dreds and even thousands OF dollars as
private mail.cairiers for the prompt
delivery OF the communications of
which they were bearers. One of these
was addressed to the inspector of the
Bank of British North America, and
considerably reduces the amount of the
banks loss by fire. 1t is understood
that the record of the bank notes con-
sumed was destroyed with them, but
it is nevertheless quite possible that
this will not mean lost money.
