OPHIR ROAD
HOUSE BURNS;
' LOSS IS 8,000
_—
IDITAROD.—(Special)—'The burn
ing of the Ophir roadhouse, which oc
curred some ten days ago, proved to
be a severe loss to its proprietor, Wil
liam Jones. It appears that the tire j
swept the building so suddenly that
absolutely none of its contents were
saved, and the occupants were fortu
nate in escaping with their lives. Be
sides the roadhouse and its equipment |
Mr. Jones lost a considerable sum in |
money, anti his total losses are esti-1
mated at about $S.(XX>
Temporary quarters have been fit
ted up anti Mr. Jones is still catering
to the traveling public.—(Pioneer.)
