 The fire department responded to an alarm of fire from box 25 at 5. Az Wednesday morning. The fire was in 8 bedroom in the basement of the Century hotel, which was occupied by the porter, James Pevey. He was at work in the kitchen starting the fires for the days work, and had left an oil heater burning in his room. Smelling smoke, he returned to his room, and found his clothes, which were hanging on a rack near the heater, in flames. Before he could remove them from the room the fire had communicated to the bedding and couch. By this time the whole house had become alarmed, as the smoke had filled the upper part of the house, and some of the boarders were making nasty exits down the stairs and fire escapes. A small garden hose was attached in the laundry, and the fire was practically under control when the department arrived. The room was quite badly damaged by smoke, and the floor was burned con- siderably, while the furniture is practically total loss. The porter also lost all his clothing, which was uninsured. The loss to the building and furniture is covered by insurance in the Peck & Fay agency. MT. Pevey burned his face and hands quite badly in trying to save the furniture.
