A DISASTROUS FIRE, The Planters' Hotel Reduced to Ashes. For a Time There Were Great Danger That the Flames Would Spread and Envelop the Entire Bedroom Partition of the city—Lone Restraints at $15,000—Heavy Insurance. The Planters' Hotel, one of the most noted statues in Southern California, and which stood for nineteen years the leading hotel in Anaheim, was burned to the ground early on Saturday morning. The contents of the building were almost entirely destroyed. The fire alarm was turned in at 2:30 p.m., and at 4 nothing was left of the building but a mass of ruins, licked up by untles tongues of flame. The cause of the fire is a mystery, but it was of incendiary origin there is not much disposition to doubt. Who touched that fired the building, it is of course impossible to say, but the circumstances surrounding the whole affair would seem to indicate that the fire was started by an violent hands. The fire began in the oilroom, a small apartment leading off from the washroom, on the ground floor in the rear of the hotel. The flames instantly spread to the adjoining ward and club rooms, and in an instant made their way to the stairs and the front part of the building. The entire structure was soon enveloped in flames, lighting up the countryside for hours around. Great volumes of black smoke rolled heavenward, pierced now and again with shafts of fire that shot up incrementally from the burning pile. Two streams of water played upon the interior soon after the alarm was rung in. These helped materially to confine the flames to the hotel, but to the fact that not a breath of wind was stirring is the saving of the business portion of the town mainly attributed. During the time of the fire there were launched faces in the street. Men who realised that their own buildings were threatened. The hotel was by this time entirely wrapped in flames, and threatened the greatest danger. The brick annex, adjoining the frame part of the hotel on the west, stood like a rock, barring the further progress of the fire in that direction, but the heat was so intense that the buildings across the street began to emit steam from the water dashed upon them. The blankets bung from the awning in front of Cahen's and Rimpan's stores were sending out quantities of steam that supplied the local industry. In line with its high light on safety, The hotel was demolished, and no gradually the entire building became damaged in flames. There was agreement that the fire might commence with the stables at the rear of the hotel, and thundered its source to the banks block, but a few feet away. There was also great danger that Federman's building and White's sugar factory, situated on Los Angeles street came from the hotel, would be consumed. Only the greatest effort on the part of the firemen moved these buildings from destruction. For a time Federman's building was in imminent peril of burning, but a plenty of water moved the structures. The plate glass in front of the store was broken, and other damage sustained by the building will bring the owner's loss up to about $763. THE SCORE OF DANGER CHANGE. During all this time the efforts of the firemen were directed to moving of property on Los Angeles street. As the flames landed their way through to the Center-street side of the hotel, there was great danger that the row of buildings occupied by Cahen's and Rimpan Brothers' store, the Bank of Anaheim, Gazette office and Joseph Helmson's store, to say nothing of the buildings in the same block further down the street, would also be destroyed. Wet blankets were swamped from the awnings in front of Cahen's and Rimpan's stores and before the large plate glass windows of the Bank. A home was attached to the hydrant sunk in the sidewalk in front of the bank, and conducted to the roof of the building occupied by THE GAZETTE. On the roof of this building was stationed a bucket brigade, and the building was thoroughly soaked. This undoubtedly saved its premises. As the fire burst through the Center-street side of the hotel, enveloping the entire building with roaring flames, the heat became so intense that working on the opposite sidewalk was almost impossible. The men at work on Rimpan's and Cahen's stores and the Bank retreated and took up a position further down the street. The bucket brigade on top of THE GAZETTE office plied their vocation with redoubled vigor. GREAT DANGER THREATENED. The hotel was by this time entirely wrapped in flames, and threatened the greatest danger. The brick annex, adjoining the frame part of the hotel on the west, stood like a rock, barring the further progress of the fire in that direction, but the heat was so intense that the buildings across the street began to emit steam from the water dashed upon them. The blankets bung from the awning in front of Cahen's and Rimpan's stores were sending out quantities of steam that supplied this local industry. At midnight on Wednesday, J. 1877, probably the most disastrous ever visited Anaheim broke out in story building that stood on Los Angeles and First North site at Odd Fellows' Hall. This was owned by Peter Richardson, well-to-do, but recently overtaken tune and lately sent to the Innok Stockton. The fire communication one-story structure owned by P. C. Hence swept over to an adjoining... Two streams of water played upon the reservoir soon after the alarm was rung in. They helped materially to confine the flames in the hotel, but to the fact that not a breath of wind was stirring is the saving of the business portion of the town mainly to be attributed. During the time of the fire there were launched faces in the street. Men who realised that their own buildings were threatened with destruction, and who foresaw a ruined and blackened district where once their business quarters stood, were not allow denouncing the fratful and impious hand that would wantonly subject the city to such parish. Had the guilty party but been caught in his act of arson, his carcass would have dangled from the nearest tree. HOW THE FIRE STARTED. At twelve o'clock the proprietor of the hotel, N. H. Mitchell, who had just returned from Los Angeles on the late train, entered the house with a party of friends. They went to the bar, took a drink and immediately dispersed, the proprietor going to his apartments on the upper floor of the hotel, and the others returning to their homes. A half hour later Syl Berry of Orange, who had been taking Ed Morgan's place as clerk of the hotel, was awakened by a ring at the night bell, and going to the door, found a young man named Leon Chance, who asked for a room for the night. Berry showed him to a room upstairs, and then descending to his own apartment on the ground floor, admitting the washroom, he went to bed and was soon asleep. At this time there was not a lamp burning in the building. Two hours afterward, at half past 2, Berry was awakened by the stinging smoke that filled his room and nearly sublated him. He ran to the front door of the hotel and gave the alarm. Nightwatchman Miller, who was seated on a box in front of Marshal Landell's office, and who passed by the hotel not ten minutes before Berry gave the alarm, rushed to the burning building, and bounding upstairs, made his way as far down the halls as the stinging smoke, which already filled every corner of the building, would permit, and called to the guests to get up and save their lives. Miller had soon to retrace his steps, and it was with some difficulty that he succeeded in reaching the open air. When Berry gave the alarm, H. P. Larsen, who was in bed in his apartments in the Metz block, across the street from the hotel, sprang to his door and saw the smoke and flames issuing from the building. He ran to the fire bell and turned in the alarm. SOME NARROW EXCAPES. There were only six persons in the hotel at the time of the fire. These were Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell (their children being in Los Angeles); Syl Berry, the clerk; F. D. Brown; another gentleman named Brown, who arrived at the hotel the evening before, and the young man, Leon Chance, whom Berry let in at 12:30 o'clock. All succeeded in making their escape. F. D. Brown, who was awakened by Mrs. Mitchell, and whose room faced on Center street, sprang to his door as soon as he heard the call of fire. The hotel was by this time entirely wrapped in flames, and threatened the greatest danger. The brick annex, adjoining the frame part of the hotel on the west, stood like a rock, barring further progress of the fire in that direction, but the heat was so intense that the buildings across the street began to emit steam from the water dashed upon them. The blankets hung from the awning in front of Cahen's and Rimpan's stores were sending out quantities of steam that made it look as though the saving of the building, if indeed that could be accomplished at all, would be nothing short of a miracle. The windows of the Bank were cracked and the blankets suspended in front of them were frotted in steam. At this time, the danger on Los Angeles street having leased to some extent and the danger on Center street being great in the extreme, the hosseun uncoupled their hose from the hydrant on Los Angeles street, ran by the burning building and coupled their hose to a hydrant near Kroeger's Hall. They at once began to play water upon the Center-street side of the hotel. The tank pressure was, however, incapable of forcing water to the high of the brick annex, which was now on fire. Some one set up a cry that the hand engine be brought from the fire house and given a trial. Be it said that the engine had been all but abandoned on account of the unfavorable report of Trustee Benner-scheidt, who was recently detailed to inspect it. Twenty men responded, and the engine was given a trial. The force was great enough to send a stream twenty feet over the brick building. The asperped hand-engine was voted a great success. The cornices and roof of the brick annex were on fire, but the water soon extinguished the flames. The wooden 'awning' in front of the brick building was pulled down, and the flames continued to the burning frame. FIRE UNDER CONTROL—THE HOTEL CONSUMED. The fire was at last under control, but there was no relaxation on the part of the firemen in the work of extinguishing the flames. At 3 o'clock the hotel was a mass of fire and a half hour afterward the building had disappeared. Nothing remained of the hotel but a part of its outer frame work. Two chimneys remained standing fiercely gleaming in white heat. One tottered and fell, burying its bricks in the hot ashes and dinders below. The large tank fell with a crash as soon as its supports were burned from under it. The tank stands near the oilroom. The fire gradually gaining a foothold in the second story, burned holes in the tank, and water trickled down upon its supports, quenching the fire for a time, but the fierce heat was too great to be kept long in subjection by the water, and in a few minutes the tank fell to the ground, the water going up in clouds of hazing steam. At 4 o'clock nothing remained of the famed old hostelrie but a mass of burning embers, throwing out a heat that even then could not be endured except at some distance. Daylight dawned in the east and lit up a scene of ruin that has seldom been seen in this town. The street was littered with the paraphernalia of effects taken from the hotel. The objects saved, except a piano, upon which there was an insurance of $400, were principally dining-room furniture, generally articles of small value. The loss is estimated at $15,000, but is probably below that figure. The insurance Francisco. The youth was placed matches in the bathroom when gone and locked himself in. The started spread so rapidly that lighting was saved from the building. At midnight on Wednesday, J. 1877, probably the most disastrous ever visited Anaheim broke out in story building that stood on the Los Angeles and First North strata site the Odd Fellows' Hall. This was owned by Peter Richards well-to-do, but recently overtaken tuna and lately sent to the Innation Stockton. The fire communicated one-story structure owned by P.

The loss sustained by this probably $25,000 with nominal The fire was undoubtedly of origin. Another disastrous fire was tha burning of Heismann & Sorenson's a short time before the fire last Anaheim has also suffered vast fires.

These were Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell (their children being in Los Angeles); Syl Berry, the clerk; F. D. Brown; another gentleman named Brown, who arrived at the hotel the evening before, and the young man, Leon Chance, whom Berry let in at 12:30 o'clock. All succeeded in making their escape. F. D. Brown, who was awakened by Mrs. Mitshell, and whose room faced on Center street, sprang to his door as soon as he heard the call of fire. The hall was so filled with smoke that he could not see Mrs. Mitchell, but felt her outstretched hand and heard her saying that escape could only be made through the brick wing of the hotel and descent to the ground by one of the outside stairways. In the excitement of the moment Brown could not understand. The mosquito-bar covering of his bed was already on fire from the flames that shot down the corridor and into his opened door. He dare not venture down the hall in face of the heat and blinding smoke. He could hear voices calling "Fire" far away. In his dalirium he turned into his burning room, to make his escape by reaching the veranda and sliding down one of the posts. Taking what clothes he could secure in the short time left him to escape, he stepped on the veranda and threw them into the street. He then climbed over the balustrades, and descended to the street on one of the wooden pillars that supports the upper balcony. FIGHTING THE FLAMES. The alarm of fire soon called out almost the entire population. Vigorous work was done to check the flames and confine them to the hotel. It was simply impossible to attempt to save the building. The flames communicated at once from the oilroom to the billiard-room and before one can tell it, the fact was apparent that there was very little gained in attempting even to stay the flames with the limited amount of water at command. A stream of water was turned on the burning oilroom, and although gallant work was done by the young men who volunteered to act as firemen, the flames spread with great rapidity, and throw out such heat that it was all but unbearable to work near the fire. All of the firemen were more or less scorned by the intense heat, and one or two were sickened and had to be relieved by others. In the yard of the hotel one could see the flames issuing fiercely from the oilroom, and gradually burning upward on the side of the building. The supports of the large tank NOTES OF THE FIRE. As is usually the case in all fires, there were a lot of ludicrous incidents connected with this one. The most harrowing experience was probably that of Fritz Ruehmann, who rushed from his residence, at the first alarm of fire, minus his trousers! Reaching the door of his place of business, in dangerous proximity to the burning hotel, he felt for his pocket to get his key, when, lo! he discovered that he had better go home and dress himself—which he accordingly did. "Aren't you going to move out the printing office?" inquired a man of the religious editor, when the danger threatened most. The editor's rejoinder: Quote, a half-dozen dashes, don't you know, a dozen ditto, close quote. The other party vanished. Then the editor ran in the office and carried out the scissors and paste-pot. Frants's barber shop looked as though a cyclone had struck it. Everything was moved out, and his barber pole was also taken in out of the wet. All books and valuables belonging to the business houses threatened with fire were removed to a place of safety. For a time it looked as if the business portion of the town was doomed. Both F. D. Brown and Ed. Morgan lost everything they had by the fire. The latter was away at the time and returned to find the contents of his room entirely destroyed. A subscription list was started for Mr. Brown's benefit on Saturday, and $40 were raised in a short time and burned over to him. He desires us to return his silence thanks to those who interrupted themselves in his favor. As Mr. Morgan is in little better circumstances, it was not deemed advisable to raise a subscription for him. Both gentlemen have the sympathy of their friends in their loss. Joseph Helmaan was a bride nervous during the progress of the fire. He had purchased Malrose building on Center street, situated opposite the hotel, and had received the dead to the property just day before the fire. He did not feel particularly jubilant. J.P. Zeyn also spoke favorably organization of the company. D.M. Baker of Santa Ana, who considerable interest in the cannon at length in regard to the benefits rived from the establishment of here. He said Southern California paradise of fruits and saw no reason cannery should not prove a success. Alex Henry moved that he must proceed to incorporate as a company name and style of "The Anah Drying and Canning Company," thus business to be at Anaheim.

The hotel was at time owned by John Fincher, now City Council of Los Angeles. The latter destroyed it was built upon the ruins of the old. The loss was $15,000; insurance, $6,000. Fire was supposed to be of inadmirable nature. Another small fire occurred on the same years before the hotel destroyed in was erected, but little damage was done no moon on April 26, 1871, the residence Davia, situated on the site of his prehome, was entirely destroyed by fire. As the case of the other fires, the business one of the city was threatened, but apart consuming the stables and othouses with the residence, no other damage done by the fire. The loss was $8,000, there was no insurance. The fire was led by one of Mr. Davis' sons, then a boy, but now grown and in business in San Francisco. The youth was playing with cheeses in the bathroom, whence he had locked himself in. The fire, once opened, spread so rapidly that little or nothing was saved from the building.
