C. .e Adams, and Policemen H. H. Frank n lin, arid E. N. Austin met on the cor ner of the public square near the .e drug store of Gilder and Weeks and Sthey saw a very,-bright light reflected t on the bu.ilding across the street fronm ~- the Newberry hotel. Upon investiga ). tion it was found that the quilts and e blankets in the linen room of the hotel were on fire. t Mrs. Brock-man uses an electrie - iron on occasionis and had .it in the r :linen room. Her rule is to disconneet e the wire when the iron is. not in use ,but on Saturday it seems to have been overlooked. Sunday night about nine - or ten o'clock one of the guests desir e ed additional cover and the boy who a~ went to this room 'to get it turned on :the light and failed to turn it off - when hie came from the room. This ,'also turned the current on the electri iron which was on the f board on the pile of comforts. The y police officers together with Mr. Brockman and one of the boys at - the hotel extinguished the fire with - out giving any alarm, and as a result r very few people know of the fire and 1 none of the guests at the hotel were :disturbed. . e OLD TOWN REBUILT. v Southern to.
