Bridgeport Fire Destroys Main Block Cleaning Out Stores
A major blaze in Bridgeport gutted two story wooden structures on Malus Street including the Central Hotel run by Fred Kester and a general store.

The cause remains undetermined with cigar stump theories and a late report indicated limited city water flow hampered efforts.
