Nieces of Constable Fred Clark, in "the City. bE The' first refugees from the big fire in northern Ontario, arrived in {Kingston on Tuesday night, the Misses Clark, nieces of PoMce Constable Fred Clark, reached the city from Hafleybury. With their parents, they lost everything they possessed, and were forced to spend the greater part-of one night fin the lake. Their father was in business in Haileybury, but if given assistance he will Hkely remain in Halleybury. The Clark ghrls did everything they could to relieve the suffering, and consider that they were very lucky to escape in the manner they did. The heat state was terrible, and the great wonder is that, there were not more deaths in the catastrophe. The Clark girls went on to Cobalt following the wiping out of Hafley- bury, and before arranging to come down to Kingston they were kept very busy doing what they could for the sufferers, One of the girls was engaged In making sandwiches all one night, and: when through with her task, the only place she could find to take a rest, was on a pool table, but this she gladly welcomed, and made the best of her lot.
