FIRE AT INVERCARGILL
( By Telegraph—Press Association.)
INVERCARGILL, November 2
Several thousands of pounds' worth of stacked timber, ranging from old oak, which cannot be replaced, were destroyed in a spectacular fire in the factory and yard of Broad, Small, Ltd., Tyne Street, this afternoon.
The fire, which originated in the bedding and upholstery department, gutted the back portion of the wooden factory and spread through nearly 100 stacks of timber in the adjoining yard. The flames, driven by a strong wind, threatened the joinery factory of Calder, Mackay, Ltd., two chains away beyond an empty section.
