Mrs. Charles Bergdahl, who occupied an apartment on the floor where the fire started, was awakened by the crackling noise of the fire just as Mrs. Mary Beatty, the hotel manager, arrived to notify her Her husband, who was at \york at the time, happened to be driving by the hotel when he noticed the fire. Realizing that his wife was in the building, he tried to reach the upper floor but was prevented from doing so by the dense' smoke. He then entered the building and found that she had reached safety. In all, sixteen men from Mc- Henry's Station 1, six from Johnsburg and six from Lakemoor assisted in extinguishing the flames. Two Chicago firemen who happened to be ot'f duty and in the city at the time, assisted. Their identity is sought by Chief Harold Hobbs. The building is owned by Max Voight Bruno' Manzardo and Reno Cervo. The permanent residents who resided on the upper floors have been staying temporarily in rooms usually occupied on the lower floor by travellers. 1 Even during a situation so serious, one humorous incident was noted. Painters who had been employed to work on the exterior of the building had arrived earlier in the morning and were busy painting on one side of the building as firemen climbed their ladders to put out the fire on the other sde. They decided to abandon work when it became evident that the fire was of a serious nature.
