A FIRE AT CAMPTI

A disastrous fire occurred in
Campti Friday night, when the
residence Of Mr.. and Mrs. S. Tri.
chel and the hotel which adioined
it. were destroyed with practically
all of their contents. Rats and
matches in the pantry are suppos-
ed to have caused the trouble
which was under good Roadway
before it was discovered, For
the lack of fire fighting appurten-
ances, it was impossible to save
either of the places so the efforts
OF the citizens were directed to-
wards the adjoining buildings,
which while damaged were,
not badly. The loss is between
$4,000 and $4,000, with an IN
surance of about $4,000.
