He waa Ip a cottage near the hotel, and through aome mis take was called an hour earlier than he requested. That mistake probably saved all of us from death. “As he walked past the hotel he saw blase In the kitchen. Hurrying Inside he found the bellboy sound asleep. Sergeant Boeschane ran through the halls crying lire, though he first closed door from the kitchen Into the hall. This foresight prevented the small blase from spreading so quickly, and gave the guests an opportunity get out below and smoke In dense volumes was pouring through the halls. Panic had seised on tho guests, and they were rushing from the building In every Imaginable state of dishabille.
