town section OF the city this morning that
caused considerable excitement and some
damage. The alarm was sounded from
box % about GAS o'clock and the depart
ment hurried TO the Klondike restaurant.
where there was seen TO be dense smoke
issuing from the kitchen and several of
the rooms above.
The firemen soon had the blaze under
control when the cause was made known.
II was found that the cook started the
fire I'm the gasoline range as usual in the
morning and was busy preparing the
orders that had been called for when all
OF a sudden the whole stove seemed 10
fall apart and the ignition OF the volatile
matter took place
Before IL was realized what had hap
pened the whole kitchen was ablaze and
filled with smoke. the flames reaching one
or two OF the rooms just above. The
damage was mostly confined to the
kitchen, though the rooms mentioned
were smoked to some extent.
The dining room damage was due
mainly TO the water. which fairly flooded
the place. There was rude awakening
for those who slept I'm the apartments
above and a hurrying scramble for what
ever wearing apparel came handiest.
The fire had no chance TO communi-
cate 10 the harness store on the other
side OF the restaurant. The damage has
not yet been estimated.
