Tlie Itesideuee of \V A Davis
Huriicd.
Shortly after 12 o'eloek Wednesday
night, Mr W A Davis was
awakened by smoke in his room.
He got up and discovered that the 1
building was afire. Ho gave the
alarm, ami in a few minutes some
gentlemen who were sitting on the
hotel piazza arrived on the scene. A
The lire had made too much headway
to be checked. It was burn- 4
ing in the ceiling and garret and j
had burned through a closet in j1
the upstaos. The origin of the I
fire is unknown but it is generally j
thought that rats and matches
(
! caused the conflagration. Mr i
Davis' loss is at least *l,<?oo. Ho'
saved stone of his furniture but '
ioM the larger portion ot it and
also his photographing outfit. *
Tin* building was insured for
