FRISCO RESORT.
DEFYING QUAKE,
LAID IN ASHES
Structure Overlooking
Pacific Helpless on Its
Rock Ledge.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. THE
World-famous Cliff House, on the
ocean beach, was totally destroyed
by fire this evening.
The big resort, resting on the high
rocks almost at the entrance of the
Golden Gate, has been closed for
some time, undergoing elaborate
alterations, and was to have been
reopened October l under a new
management as one Of the finest
restaurants in the world.
The alterations had been com
pleted, and the building stood ready
to receive the new furniture.
The remoteness of the fire appa-
ratus and the position Of the build
ing on its ledge made it difficult to
fight the flames, which made great
Roadway in the strong wind blow
ing at the time.
The fire department, realizing
that it would be futile to attempt
TO save any part of the Cliff House,
concentrated their efforts on the
Sutro baths, adjoining. These were
saved, after a hard fight. The esti-
mated loss is 100000.
The building was a big frame
structure on the rocks overlooking
the ocean.
Adolph Sutro built it twelve years
ago, on the site of the Pioneer Cliff
House, which was also burned.
Today's fire is supposed to have
started from crossed electric wires.

Indeed. Il is openly stated that Mr.. and
Mrs. Batonyt love each ether as de-

simply, because the wife was summoned
