GAINESVILLE Argus: Yesterday morn
ing about half after two o'clock the
fire alarm sounded. Fifty or more
firemen responded promptly and did
effectual work in stopping the pro-
gress Of a fire that broke out at the
Hotel Grand The proprietor, Mrs.
B. A. Ross, informs US that she was
awakened by choking sensation
and that a boarder also was awak-
ened In a similar manner. The alarm
was turned in none too soon. The
origin Of the fire is unknown, but
It burned through into adjoining
rooms, the smoke damaging much of
the equipment, including all the
stores on hand. The loss has not
been figured but 1t will reach con-
siderable sum, partially covered by
insurance. In the meantime no meals
are served until things are righted.
1t was a close call and really 1t is
wonder how the fire was exiting
uished at all considering it's remote
location on the interior Of the
building.
