FIRE IN BLENHEIM
THREE SHOPS DAMAGED (By Telegraph—Press Association.) BLENHEIM, September 29. Three small shops in Market Street South were involved in an outbreak of fire last night.

Adjoining shops on either side, occupied by Mr C. H. James, a draper, and Mr G. Bartlett, a hairdresser, were affected to a minor extent, the principal damage being to Mr James's stock, which was badly smoked. Mr Bartlett’s premises escaped with slight damage to a storeroom, where a quantity of matches was ignited by the heat. The shops, which are included in a block of four, were owned by Mr Sidney Adams and were insured for £l3OO. Mr Burton's stock was insured for £3OO and Mr James’s for £250.
