Fire destroys Mauding and Stock of Chepang Botaily
Fire engulfed Mauding and Stock at Chepang Botaily, destroying a large portion of premises and stock. Losses totaled around 52,000 for the produce and warehouse, with insurance covering 44,000 on the stock and 60,000 on the warehouse. The Turner, McKean estate three story building, used for wholesale goods, was also destroyed with about 10,000 in losses, insured for 60,000. Fire likely started from a furnace igniting flammable materials near liquor stores, complicating suppression. Lord Strathcona offered to mobilize two mounted squadrons to aid in the Canadian Northwest, contingent on militia support and equipment, potentially enabling west-to-front deployment.
