‘Hazelton Took

The: Copeck. estate was quite a ‘big
lovser in a fire last Sunday morning

all. ‘of which were occupied i in Hazelton
The’ buildings were nll old; but were
‘steady revenue producers. They were
Nocated un the same street as the police
station, but far enough down the street
so that the government-owned buNding
was not endangered. The fire sthrted
in the middle of the row in-a shack
oceupied by a carpenter named Mand-
ersoh. He had had breukfast, filled the
stove ‘and’ went up town: About a
quarter ‘past nine some one noticed flre
cuming out the back of the shack and
immediately gave the alarm. . As per
