Ell CENTRIC BLAZE
THIS MORNING IS
LARGEST IN YEAR
Several Frame Buildings
Destroyed; Estimate
Loss About $1,000.

One of the biggest fires that has
visited FL Centre in over a wear,
completely destroyed several frame
buildings on Park street, across
from th" auto camp grounds, shortly
after : o clock this morning causing
damage roughly estimated at $1,000.
The fire broke out in large
frame building, part of the estate
of J. y. Norvcll.
There was no chance to save the
building, and the flames swept to
adjoining shackS Immediately to
the east and only few feet from
the yard Of the Soncs Lumber com
pany with Il large stock of lumber.
The fircmen cut around the burn
ing buildings, and augmented by the
fire equipment of the lumber com
pany, prevented the blaze from
reaching the latter property. En-
ploycs of the lumber company then
joined with the firemcn in PLAYING
streams of water ON the several
buildings which were in the path
OF the flames.
Norvell's building housed a large
number of inmates, most of whom
are laborcrs. Practically all had
| left for their days work before the
fire started, and several of them
lost all their personal belongings.
Frantic efforts were made by those
who were in the house when the fire
broke out, to save what little they
could.
Great clouds of heavy smoke
which rolled skyward from the burn
ing buildings caused rumors in other
! valley towns that the business see
; tion of FL Centre was on fire. rele-
phone calls here for information
were answered with the statement
that the fire was not to be consid
