Firefighters fought flames from 7 am after a 3 30 am alert, saving surrounding property but failing to save the Ewert saloon and the Button Mumbrae hardware store. Local editor L Cook notes the disaster and urges rebuilding in brick, while townsmen rally to aid victims and press for safer structures.
