FIRE.
Gkeymoutii, June 7.
At five yesterday at Dunganville the store and hotel of Mr McKechnie and the store of Mr MoPhee were burned ‘down, everything being destroyed. The inmates had some difficulty in escaping, the place being wrapped in flames when the alarm was given. Mr and Mrs McKechnie escaped through the windows. McPhee was uninsured, and McKechnie was insured for only about a third of the value of the property. The fire is supposed to have originated in MoKechnie’s billiard-room.
