completely Quilted Lapahan's Apartment
House at End and II streets, Wash

81, 900 aud $1,000. 1t is supposed that
the fire started in the cellar of the build

after more engines responded, the blaze
was confined to the burning building.
The inmates of the apartment house
escaped in their night clothes, and 50
far as is known there were no accidents.
