SIX HERIOT SHOPS BLAZE
BUSINESS AREA ALMOST RAZED. BUCKET BRIGADE’S FUTILE WORK By Telegraph.—Press Association. Gore, Oct. 10. Six business places in Heriot were wiped out by fire last evening. The blaze started in the Bank of New Zealand buildings and destroyed the premises of Messrs. Stronach Morris (merchants), A. H. Sinclair (bookseller), N. McC'ritehie (draper), H. Dickinson (tobacconist) and the Foresters’ Hall. The business area of the township was practically wiped out. The origin of the blaze is a mystery. A bucket brigade was organised but its efforts were futile as the fire had too strong a hold when discovered about midnight, and a strong wind fanned the flames. The contents of all the buildings were also lost.
