where the rooms of the Commercial

Blaze Of Unknown Origin Gives
Guests q Scare
FORTUNATE AWAKENING OF DRUMMER
DISCOVERS SMOKE IN TIME TO
AROUSE LANDLORD AND
AVERT CONFEDERATION.

A small blaze at the Walla Walla
hotel early this morning was put out
with no damage other than a badly
SCARED floor in the kitchen and severe
burns to the hands of Thomas Corn,
the proprietor.
A serious fire might have resulted
if the smoke from the burning floor
had not entered the room of drum
mer sleeping directly over the kitchen
and awakened him about 1875 O'Clock.
He at once aroused Mr.. Corn, who
hastily threw on a few clothes and
rushed downstairs to find the kitchen
in a blaze He attempted to smother
the fire and in doing so burned his
hands Seeing the uselessness of this
method he turned in an alarm to the
fire station.
This was responded to promptly by
both steamers and the chemical. The
latter was able to put a quietus on
the fire in a few minutes.
The origin of the fire is mystery.
No one had been in the kitchen since
o'clock last night. It is surmised the
cook may have left pan of hot ashes
or a smouldering rag on the floor.
The damage done by the fire was
slight. Landlord Corn carried no in
surance. The building is owned by
