Shortly after s o'clock this morn
ing the fire bell aroused the town
J and it was soon observed that smoke
was pouring from the w. E. Ken
drick building, on First Street be-
tween c and D avenues. There was
prompt response upon the part of
appears that hot fire in the room
formerly occupied by the Alaska
Transfer Company, and which is now
used as sample room by CONNER
cial men, sent forth flames through
the stove pipe to the room above,
and into which the pipe from F. II.
ing flames set fire to the paper on
the wall and soon the kitchen was a
mass of fire. When the first chemi-
cal arrived it was thought to soon
put out the fire but it was out of
order and t..ere was no response.
The second chemical, however,
proved more effective and the fire
vas under control when the hose
was attached and stream soon
flooded the second story of the
building, which was occupied by F.
H. Sheldon and DR.. j. A. Vance. The
ire was confined to the kitchen and
living room of the Sheldon apart
nent, and In addition to the damage
done by the water it is expected that
the damage sustained by Mr.. Sheldon
is $50, on which there is no insur-
nee. The fire did not reach to DR.
: Vance's apartment and the water
damage was not very heavy. The
: damage to the building was about
5000.
