Massive Montreal Fire Destroys Mills and Board of Trade Area
A large blaze in Montreal on Wednesday night devastated M. Sanc & Sons clothing house on St. Peter street. The fire, fueled by narrow streets and old structures, destroyed property valued between 2.5 and 6 million dollars, sparing only a single modern building. Firefighters struggled amid crowds and police difficulties before reaching open space for effective work. Outside Board of Trade tenants were burned out, with injuries from stampede and clashes as spectators sought safety. Auden Carnegie offered a $500 prize for a painting by an American artist, while cadets and police moved to restore order at the scene.
