hall where the fire apparatus was

hall was saved but nothing was saw
ed in the hotel. For while it was
feared that the hardware and lumber
yard on the opposite side of the

Gay Sharar was the only occupant of
the hotel and was taken out by the
fremen who saw him moving around
the room through the upper window.

saving everything but these two build
ings. Several came up from Vel

bring. Nearly all the ladies were
there and Mrs. F. S. Tofflemire rang
the fire bell while everyone else yell
ed fire. There was $500 insurance on
the village hall, and $1,000 on the
hotel. The origin of the fire is I'M
