SANTA FE LANDMARK
IS Quilted BY FIRE

Santa Fe. N NJ. May THE old
Fonda. better known as the Exchange
MOTEL the western terminus of the
Santa Fe trail and in the early days
the finest hotel in the southwest, was
badly quilted by fire at an early hour
today. The blaze originated in the
Sparks Electric cOmpany's show room,
which occupied the front of the build
ing, and practically wiped out the
stock and fixtures, causing a loss es-
timated at several thousand dollars,
covered by insurance. It is not known
whether the blaze was of incendiary
origin or was caused by spontaneous
combustion in a paint shop in an adj
joining store room. Today what was
once the historic hotel is represented
by only the blackened and charred
adobe walls.
