EARLY MORNING FIRE.

Pat McHugh's Billiard and Pool Hall
Quilted by Flames at an Early
Hour.
Fire this morning Quilted the in
terror of Pat McHugh's billiard and
pool hall, doing damage estimated at
about thousand dollars to building
and contents. The fire was discov-
cred at about five thirty and an alarm
turned in. The opening of a door
gave the flames additional Roadway
and before the flames were ex-
tinguished they had swept entirely
through the place, charring the soft
drink bar and furniture, dismantling
the billiard and pool tables of their
coverings and charring the wood
work. and wrecking the interior of the
place completely. The building was
also damaged, the flames eating
through the ceiling and roof in num-
Der of places. The fire is supposed to
have originated from a cigar or
cigarette stub that was thrown be-
hind some boxes in the rear end of
the structure. The building was
owned by Thomas MCGOWAN and he
carried no insurance upon it. Pat
McHugh estimates his loss at about
$500, which is partly covered by in
surance.
