Friday night with practically ali its
contents, consisting of the fixtures,
Mrs Spencer's fine piano, office fur

covered by insurance, but there was
no insurance on the C ~Jntents. The
fire was discovered about IL o'clock
and a general alarm was sounded,
which called to the scene almost the
entire population of the town, but
all that could be done was to pre-
vent the fire from spreading to other
buildings.
The south end of the hotel caught
fire and it was only by the greatest
efforts that it was extinguished.
The hotel furniture was all carried
out and Of course sustained some
damage and the siding and some of
the roof was badly charred.
The bank books were all in the
safe and as soon as the safe cools
and another location is secured, Mr.

BY far the greatest loss Is that
sustained by Hcywood and Nelson in
the burning of their abstract files,
valued at about "a. 900.
