FIRE AT WHAREKERAUPUNGA.
Ar.ouT 3.30 a.m. on Friday morning the store owned by Mr F. Gane was burnt to the ground. The fire, when discovered by Mr G. Gane, who with his brother and an assistant was sleeping in a room at. the back, was burniug between the counter and the wall, and close to where the matches were kept. He at once woke the others and gave the alarm, and although water was close at hand their attempts to overcome the flames were useless, and the building was soon teduced to ashes. Beyond the bedding, books and money, which weic in the back room, nothing was saved. The insurance was £250 in the Norwich Union on the building and stock, but Mr Gane estimates his loss at £IOO above that amount.
