Royal Hotel Destroyed By Pre Dawn Fire In City
A pre dawn blaze gutted the four story Royal Hotel on Tuesday morning, December 21, with damage over 100000. Firemen could not determine the cause, speculated as overheated coal ignition, as heat peeled paint and shattered windows in neighboring buildings. All 58 guests and residents were accounted for, with nearby structures damaged and some contents lost.
