Has anybody thought to make good pho
tograph of the old Wild Hunters hotel on
Jackson street? It has just ten days more to
exist. Then the ruthless hand of progress will
tear it to fragments and a mercantile block
these old historical landmarks are disappear
ing. 1t was way back in 1917 that good old
patriarch A. l.. Larpenteur built the story
and half frame building which now forms
the back of the Wild Hunters hotel, and
which can be seen by passing through the
alley from Fourth street. This part of the
building formerly stood at the corner of
Third and jackson streets, and was moved
back in 1855 to make way for the present
brick block, which is to be granted one more
years lease of life. In the old house five of
Mr. Larpenteur's children were born, the
others arriving at the ''Anchorage,' his pres
ent residence. Mr.. Larpenteurs entire fam
! iy consisting of his wife, five girls and five
boys, is still living, and he is as hale and
hearty as when he first fiirted with pretty
squaws forty years ago.
