The fire was not discovered until the
entire building was In flames, and the
23 inmates in the building bad nar
row escapes.
Tbe building was a new one, and
less than a year ago was refitted from
top to bottom, and a costly X-ray ap
paratus Installed. It was of frame
structure and burned quickly.
The fire is supposed to have been
caused by sparks from tho grate fall
lng on to a rug and setting fire to the
room. It certainly started in thj room
of Blockton. Ho was 111 and was un
able to move out of bed, so that by
the time the fire was seen outside tho

given prompt attention.
Nothing was saved from the build
ing. and the loss will be total. The
building waa owned by Dr. R. I* Bry-
