A blaze which started Nov. "a in the
second story of the Cottage hotel, st.
Johnsbury, by the flame from lamp ig-
hitting an adjacent partition, worked
through the roof and partitions of the ho-
tel and also burned through the manssrd
roof of the grocery store of Henry r.
Estsbrook. After a stubborn fight the
fire was extinguished. The damage By
water to both buildings will far exceed
the loss by fire. II is difficult to estimate
the loss but is conservatively placed at
$4,000, of which two thirds will fall on
the hotel, which is owned by William A. !
Wright. Landlord Hoyt had just taken a
lease of the hotel and he and some OF the
boarders lost some of their effects. Both /
