HOUSE DESTROYED BY FIRE
I ter t’ress Association — Copyright.)
DUNEDIN, February 17. A lour-roomed cottage occupied by
an elderly couple’, Mr and Mrs Nicolson, wa s destroyed by fire early yesterday morning at Company Bay, about eight miles from Dunedin, on the road to Portobello. A mysterious feature of the outbreak is that the occupants have not since been seen but a close examination of the debris discloses no signs of charred remains, although exhaustive inquiries by the police reveal no trace of the Nicolsons.
The opinion of the police is that the occupants of the house have not perished, or otherwise some trace of them would have been found in the ruins. Mr Nicolson recently retired from the Public Works Department at Alexandria, and he has only been residing a short time at Company Bay. They were not well known in the district.
