FIRE AT KAKAHI.
BUSINESS PORTION DESTROY©]
(By Telegraph. Press Association.) TAUMARUNUI, This Day. A distastrous fire broke out early this morning at Kakahi. The fire started in Mr E. o"Malley'6 boarding house (owned by Miss Herrod, of Auckland), and next caught Mr S. Endre's general store. It then spread to the public hall. After the fire had a substantial hold on the hall a small empty shop owned by Mr H. Fraser Was knocked to pieces by residents, and this provided a gap •which the fire'could not leap to Everybody's Theatre and a shop belonging to Mr Fraser, which are the only buildings left standing in the main street of Kakahi.
There is no fire brigade at Kakahi, and the residents worked strenuously with buckets to suppress the outbreak. Had there been any wind the whole street would undoubtedly have been wiped out.
