OLD ORCHARD RESORT
is NEARLY WIPED OUT
Maine Summer Colony Has
Midnight Blaze that Does
Damage of $15O,00O

Old Orchard, Me-, Sept. l5.--The
deserted summer colony here was
threatened with destruction early to-
day when the Forest Pier hotel and
several amusement places were de-
stroyed by fire which caused damage
estimated at almost $150,00o. A wind
that swept the sparks from the burn
ing wooden buildings out 10 sea prob
ably saved the colony, it was said.
All available fire fighting apparatus
in Old Orchard, reinforced by help
from Portland, Biddeford and Saco
aided in preventing a repetition of the
disaster of 1907 when fire caused u
loss of S750,000 in the resort.
The origin of the flames was tnde-
terlnined. 1t is believed to have start
ed in the Temple of Fun, almost at
the head of the pier, and to have
spread both ways. Two men asleep
in one of the buildings destroyed, es-
capped with difficulty after having
been aroused by the police.
The Forest Pier hotel which was
owned by J. w. Duffy of Lawrence,
Mass, was closed Labor Day with the
,ther places of amusement. Most of
he property destroyed except the
Slue restaurant was also owned by
Duffy. The merry-go-round which
vas consumed was owned by Duffy
ind Edward Rhoades of Reading, Pa.
A fireproof garage at the westerly
md of the burned section proved In
trumental in stopping the spread of
he flames in that direction.
