Fire broke out in the west end of
the Northern Pacific hospital this aft
crnoon at 3.25 and the strong wind
soon gave it such Roadway that the
building will probably prove to be a
total loss. The fire seems to have
started in the second story and had
burned through the roof before the
alarm was sounded. When the fire
department reached the scene the roof
of the whole west end was ablaze and
the wind carried the flames over the
other portions of the roof, igniting it
rapidly. All the patients were removed
without injury or accident, and many
willing hands assisted in saving the
furniture and other effects. The fire
was soon got under control sufficiently
to ensure the safety of the buildings
to the east in the path of the wind.

fairly subdued. The building cost s25,-
