FIRES
A two-story wooden apartment house on Wellington terrace, also a small garage,, which was used as bachelor quarters, was •destroyed by fire on Tuesday night. Many of the occupants escaped in their night attire, and practically nothing was saved. The fire was quite a spectacle while it lasted. It was feared, adjoining houses would be ignited, but, apart from slight damage to a roof, no harm was done. The house was owned by Mr A. A. Marryatt, and occupied by Mr J. Trim. The insurance on the house-was £BO in the Atlas office. An Oamaru message states that at 3 this morning a bakery and grocery store owned and occupied by A. T. White, a returned soldier, was completely destroyed by fire. It was an old building, and burned fiercely. The insurances were: Building £2OO, stock £SOO.
