ANOTHER FIRE

The fire whistle blew again at 2:20
o'clock this morning. This time the
alarm was from Klkaako and the ex.
act location of the fire was Dobson's
Primo beer saloon on South street, al.
most opposite the yards of the Homo.
lulu Iron Works,
Before the department could arrive
on the scene, the saloon was complete
ly enveloped in flames and II was i'm.
possible to save the building, SO that
the efforts of the are ladies were di.
rected to the saving Of adjoining prop
erty.
The fire was so hot that the small
two-story Chinese tenement house on
the mauka side was badly scorched on
one side and quite a large proportion
Of the contents OF the rooms in the
portion attacked were ruined by water.
On the makai side Is a small house
occupied by Japanese, and this was
also scorched. Another small building
to the rear came In for its share OF the
destruction.
Had the fire been allowed to spread
little further. a large tenement house
mauka of the saloon and numerous
small frame buildings in close proxim'
ity would have been threatened.
There Is no trace of how the fire
started, but the hour once more points
to the agency OF firebugs.
