FIRE. -Ohba again the peaceful el u in -
were Aroused on Wednesday morning
at 12.30 o'clock by the alarm of fire,
which was lexcertained to be in the,
veey heart of the business Portion'of
the village. The fire was,firet noticed
in the rear of James Hamilton* drug
store, and in a very few minutes it had
spread te O. Sailth's jewelry store
on the olio side ana Oheillew'a
tgenienre store on the other. Willing
liande weto ' scion at work, but very
little ceuld be saved in these . places,
and as the fire backed up to John
Meson's hotel they found it impossible
to save the building, though most of
the hotel furnittire was saved. At one
time it was feared that the brick store
of Anderson & Elder, on the corner,
waiild be gutted, hut the firemen kept
the itemise in check, and in the mean-
time the goods svere nearly. all re-
movea, but the building is badly aam-
aged by smolie. inside and out, Oa the
opposite side of the street, in the Pre-
toria block, most of the plate glass
windows were dan3aged by the heat.
The fire made a clean sweep right back
to the alley -way, ' and as far south as
the hotel driving shed. There is con.
eidei able insuranee on all et the huild-
lugs, but not enough to toyer the loss.
