SERIOUS FIRE
AT HERIOT, OTAGO. (Bv Telegraph—Press Association). GORE, October 10. Six business places 'in Heriot were wiped out by fire last evening. The blaze started in the Bank of New Zealand building, and destroyed the premises of Stronach, Morris, Ltd. (merchants), A. H. Sinclair (bookseller), N. Meßitehie (draper). H. Dickinson (tobacconist), and the Foresters’ Hall.
The business area of the township is practically wiped out. The origin of the blaze is a mystery. A Ibuoket brigade was organised. but its efforts were futile, as the fire had too strong a hold when discovered about nVidrLght, and a. strong wind fanned the flames. The contents of all the places were also lost.
