(United Press Association.)
CARTERTON, This Day
A fire broke out at 2.45 this morning in the Marquis Hotel. The outbreak originated in a storeroom on the ground floor, but the fact that all the doors and windows were shut confined the smoke, which partially smothered the ilames. The brigade was quickly on the scene and subdued the lire. The inmates were awakened by suffocating smoke, but all got out safely. Tim whole interior of the hotel was badly smoke-grimed, but the damage is covered by insurance.
