Fire devastates Bandon business district after massive blaze
A major fire in Bandon destroys three blocks of the main business area, sweeping away about 250000 dollars in property. No lives are lost though several narrow escapes are reported as the town fights the flames with the tug Elyhiam and the Dispatch aiding water streams. Insurance covers only about 50000 dollars, reflecting high rates and many uninsured merchants.
