 Hotel Had Fire
 Clogging of an automatic oil ourn- CT of heating system and a SUD seouent explosion, when flames ig- nited the gas which had formed, caused guests of the Hotel Perl on North Main street to get ready to leave in a hurry shortly after ID O clock last night. The prompt re- sponse of the f1remen under the d. rection of Chief John H. Hayes saved the structure and prevented wiping out of several valuable blocks as the fire fighters were able to ouench the flames with the aid of the chemical tanks.
 The oil, dripping from the re- fractory burner, had flowed over large space in the cellar and later when the apparatus started to func- ton again, the pilot light started trouble. The explosion was follow ed by the roar of flames, threaten ing to sweep through the hotel, which contains about 80 rooms The quick work of the fremen, kept the ire rom the pdTtllluHs.
