Our citizens were given genuine
fire scare on Thursday evening when
the clang of the fire bell called them
to the Commercial Hotel where the
flames were issuing from an upstairs
window in a truly fierce manner. The
fire is supposed to have started from
the explosion of kerosene lamp
and the curtains and draperies near
by were in flames when the depart
ment arrived. Everyone felt extreme
ly relieved when it was reported all
out, for a worse place for fire would
be hard to find as the hotel adjoins
the livery stable and other buildings
are very close.
