Davidson, April 9—Fire was discovered at 10:30 o’clock Thursday night in a room occupied by H.M. Arrowood and J.P. McKnight, resulting in two trunks and contents and incidentals being destroyed. The room was in Watts dormitory, which is fireproof, and the flames were thus confined to the one room.
It is believed that the fire was caused by a cigarette being laid on the table, later falling into a trash basket, which was close to the two trunks. Arrowood was at his home in Shelby, while McKnight had left about 20 minutes before the fire was discovered for Charlotte.
