the citizens to get acquainted with,
the various flowers.
Fire on Sunday morning did con
siderable damage to the second stor
ey of the Canadian Bank of Com-
! mei’ce building, The .fire was idis-
cvered about nine o'clock by Mr. W.
A. Elliott, teller, who sleeps in the
rooms above the bank. He was
awakened by smoke coming into the
room and on opening the door was
met with a rush of flames and smoke
that nearly knocked him out. Rush
ing $long the hall he hurried down
stairs and turned in the alarm and
then returned to fight the flames hut
So hot and dense with smoke did' the
rooms, become that he was forced
out through the front window an$,
climbing along a ledge he washable I
to descend at a corner of the build-1
ing. The firemen were soon on the
scene and .-endeavored to extinguish
the fire with a chemi «al apparatus
but finally .had to resort to the wafer
and soon had the fire under control £m-
Several of the firemen- were almost rnd
overcome by the fumes and the smoke will
and had to be taken out of the build- <ay,
ing into the fresh air. Dense smoke , m,
poured through the various windows mk.
of the building. . , .
The fire originated in a closet off (ar-
the bathroom, the panels in the dooc
of the room being burned through
and the woodwork being badly charr
ed. Tlie "woodwork in the bathroom
and hall were also badly charred. The
bathroom is situated at the south of
the building and Mr. Elliott’s room
.is along the .hall at the north. The
fan-light of his .room was broken
from the 'heat and the door-frame
badly scorched'. The damage is fully
covered by insurance. The bank just
recently spent several hundred dol
lars in re-decorating the building.
After the firemen had’ left mem
bers of the staff were investigating
between the ceiling and the roof
when Mr. Kress had the misfortune
to put one of his arms out of joint.
He was lifted through a skylight to
the roof where a doctor was called
and gave an. anesthetic before the
arm could be put back into place.
