Fire wipes out Kaatskill house and cottages at Lake George

A blaze at the Kaatskill Bay district in Glen Falls New York destroyed the Kaatskill house and three cottages in Lake George. About 125 guests stayed at the hotel and many women in the fire brigade suffered minor cuts and burns. The Nelson cottage owned by Mrs Nelson sparked the fire from an overheated open fireplace flue. Loss estimated around 100000 dollars. Neighbors John Alen of Brooklyn and James Wing lost their cottages alongside the hotel led by A P Scoville. Most guests saved only a few effects while others carried trunks to the lakefront.
