ine i\ordaJe Hotel, three story
modern structure on Front street
just above the bridge, and one of
the landmarks of Fairbanks. was
completely destroyed by fire on Sun
day afternoon, with the injury of
a number of guests, one of whom
may die, and a menetary loss esti- j
mated at between $75,000 and $80,-!
000, on which there was $18,000.
insurance.
Smoke was seen issuing from the
i rear of the building by several per
■ sons at a considerable distance from
the building but it was not until the )
chambermaid reported the fire to
Proprietor N'ordale that the alarm
was turned in, and by that time
the flames had gained such headway
that it was impossible to check them
Mr. Xordale ran upstairs with an ex-1
tinguisher but before he could use!
it the flames burst into the hall
and drove him downstair:. He!
shouted a warning to those in ti e |
building to get out a-’d by this
time the whole upper portion of1
the hotel was enveloped and a num-;
her of the guests were compelled 1
i to jump from the second story
| windows. Iver Anderson was one
. of those who escaped in that manner
but he landed on the sidewalk on
his head and shoulders and was
painfully injured. Carl Strauss al
so jumped and was fortunate in
landing in apile of snow and was
only slightly injured. Dennies Daley
1 also jumped from a window. Billy
j Zachararis. well known oldtime bar
; ber, tried to escape down the hail
| and when he emerged from the
burning building his underclothing
had been burned from the upper
portion of his body and his chest
and back and head were severely
burned. He is thought to have in
haled some of the fire. H. C Fohn
Hanson was another guest who re
ceived painful burns but his con- '
dition is not serious it is claimed the
water pressure was somewhat low
when the first stream began to play
on the building, but it was not
long before all the hose in town was
in use and there was plenty of
water for all of them. Several
streams were used to prevent the
spread of the fire to the Fair View
hotel, adjoining the Xordale on the
i west and separated from it by only
| a narrow space. The saving of the
; Fair View was accomplished with
i difficulty and at one time the bt at J
; became so great it was deemed ad
j visable to move the furnishings from
the threatened building. At about
that time, however, the walls of the
Xordale collapsed and crumpled in
| such a manner as to confine the
heat largely to the wreckage, and
; the Fair View escaped. The heat
was so intense on the opposite side
of the street that a number of
large plate glass windows were
cracked. Goods in display windows
were hastily removed to a place of
safety

N'early all of the guests lost some
. thing, and some of them lost all of
their belongings in the fire. Mike
i Ercig. well known drill man, estim
ates his loss in personal effects at
! $1,200. Mr. and Mrs. Gustafson.

Mates and who are at present in
the Tolovana district, had consid
erable clothing- and other effects in
storage at the hotel and their loss
will be heavy. Fred Crewe, who ar
rived in Fairbanks from Nenana last
week, was a guest at the hotel and
lost a number of half toned engarv
ings which were used in the print
ing of his book of poems. Chechaco
John, of the Tolovana. lost two val
uable eiderdown quilts which he
brought in from the States recently.
Mrs. Julia Watson, who arrived
from Nenana last Friday with her
daughter, Mrs. Joseph Bums, was
in her room when the fire started
and escaped by way of a window
down a ladder which was hastily pro
cured by bystanders. Mrs. Burns
was not in the hotel at the time.
Considerable of the Nordale stock
and the furnishings of the lobby
were saved.
The hotel was the property of
A. J. (Tony) Nordale and was
erected shortly after the big fire
of 1906.
One Victim Succumbs
William Zacharais succumbed to
his injuries shortly before noon to
day. He suffered terribly toward the
end and four men were required to
restrain him. Victor Anderson also
is badly hurt and it was feared for
a time that he might also die but
he is resting easier today. He jump
ed from a third story window and
bruised his shoulder, broke his nose
and fractured his jaw. At the time
of the fire he was under treatment
at the hotel for an injury received
on the creeks.
The U. S. Grill reopened for bus
iness on Sunday after having, been
closed for several days. The place
has been given a thorough renovat
ing and now presents a most at
tractive appearance.
The Lavery & Bailey building,
which was partially wrecked recent
ly by fire, will be ready for occu
pancy in the near future, a large
force of men now being engaged in
repairing the damage done.
J R. Fowle, proprietor of the
Fairbanks Clothing Company, has
purchased the Pendergraft ware
house on Fourth avenue and is now
moving his reserve stock from his
Garden Island warehouse.
Billy Root's cabin, at Sixth and
Cowles, was wrecked by fire last
week, the piano being about the
only thing saved of the contents.
Mrs. Blanche Cascaden returned
to town last week from the Tolo
vana district, having made the round
trip from Dunbar with her team of
four dogs. She encountered some
bad trail on the way over, but, on
the whole, the outing was an enjoy
able one. Mrs. Cascaden is an ex
perienced musher and can handle
a dog team like a veteran of the
trail.
