DAMAGE BY FIRE TO
WATER FRONT HEAVY
Flames Spread with Great Rapidly
and Are Not Checked Until
They Reach the Sea-
board Bank

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, May PA loss
that may reach 100000 was caused by
q fire which consumed a number of
buildings in the water front district
tonight.
Shortly before o'clock flames were
seen issuing from the Harbor hotel,
located at SO Sacramento street. The
fire spread with great rapidity to the
adjoining buildings on the east side
and was not checked in it's course I'M
til reaching the brick walls of the Sea-
board bank. The flames then ate their
way through to several frame buildings
on the Market street side of the Gore.
Among the establishments that were
burned out or badly damaged by wa
ter were the. De Laval creamery,
Wakelees drug store, the Ferry jew
clry company and Lundstrom, the hat
ter.
Three alarms brought the main part
of the fire department to the scene, but
owing to the condition of Sacramento
street, which is badly torn up, there
was much difficulty in getting some of
the apparatus to positions of advant-
age.
The fire was caused by lighted
cigarette which fell from the hands of
James Burns, ledger, who had fallen
asleep in the Harbor hotel. He was
dragged out by Detective William
Proll, who was first on the scene. The
officer also reused a number of other
men who had retired.
