Ritz Hotel Destroyed.
But 35 Guests Escape.
(By our Bayfield correspondent)
Fire again caused excitement and
terror in the village of Bayfield when
the :Ritz Hotel burned ter the ground
and the northeast nide 'of the village
was threatened on Saturday evening.
Smoke was seen pouring through
the roof about 8.30 and the alarm
sounded by n rotor ear horns.
The business telephone line 631 was
out of -commission, which caused some
delay in spreading the alarm, but
helpers .were quickly on the scene
and men on the roof with a fire ex-
tinguisher and water. It was impos-
sible to get into the attic on account
of the dense . smoke.
Chimney Fire
There had been a chimney fire in
the afternoon about three o'clock,
which the proprietor thought • was
out as he had watched it careftvilly,
but a sipark must have gotten into a
partition or into .the attic and
smouldered, for as soon as thcr men
on the roof chopped a hole beside
the chimney to try and get at the
source of the fire, the flames shot
up and the whole roof was ablaze

It has been remas+ked by many
that it was a blessing that the fire
did net break out during the wind-
storm in the afternoon or during the
night when half the village would
have been laid waste or lives lost.
The last big blaze which threatened
the village WAS in November, 1922,
when King's bakeshop, Greens)§des'
store and Dielsmann`s tailor shop,
vrhioh also housed the Post Office,
were completely wiped out.
Loss of $10,000
It has been a severe: blow to Mr.
and Mrs. Thomas Bailey, the pro.
pnietors who have suffered a loss
estimated at $10,000 ('which is partly
covered by Insurance) besides losing
clothing and many personal possess•
ions and the lose is not only to them
but also to the village in the lack
of Summer Hotel acemanod'ation.
Some of the guests :at the Ritz were
housed over the weekend by the Aug.
lien Church Camp while others were
taken into enivabe homes in the vill-
age.
