FIRE AT new WARNER,
Fire was Discovered by
the Girls, who We're
Almost Suffocated.
HOUSE DAMAGED BY WATER
The Fire Started in the Laundry
Basement-Inmates Escaped
in Night Clothes.

Fire was discovered at the New
Warner about three O'Clock this morn
ing, by one of the young ladies con-
nected with the hotel, who awoke al
most suffocated. She gave the alarm
and all occupants of the apartments
over the kitchen made their escape,
clad only in their night clothes. The
smoke was so dense that it is a miracle
they were able to get out alive. The
fire originated in the cellar under the
kitchen and had a good start before
discovered, and being in between the
wall, was a stubborn one to fight.
The damage by fire and water to this
popular house is heavy. After the
fire was subdued the effects of the oc-
cupants of that part of the house were
removed without much damage, ex-
cept general mixup, which can only
be Strengthened out by the parties con-
cerned.
The unfortunate fire at this time will
be a severe loss to the proprietor, Mr..
VIM. Schultz who had prepared an ella
borate dinner for to-day, all of which
was destroyed by smoke and water
While the sleeping section ofthe house
will be in shape to care for the guests,
it will be few days before the wing,
in which the kitchen is located, will be
put in shape for business.
