The Mysterious Fire at the Hotel


The town authorities have been trying
to investigate the recent attempt to burn
the hotel, a hearing being held on Monday,
at which those who helped to put out the
fire were present. also Mrs. Lunan, the
wife of the landlord. Mr.. Lunan was I'M
able to come down from CharlestOwn on
account of sickness. Nothing was proved
beyond the fact that a fire was set in a Sc
cret closet which opened out of another
closet (whose existence, no doubt, has baf-
fled the prying eyes of the officers who
have from time to time searched high and
low for the ardent and gone away empty
handed). This fire had burned a hole
through the floor, and in II minutes more
would have been beyond the control of
any one, and doubtless would have burned
several other buildings with it. The hotel
is leased by Thomas Lunan, who came
here last April from Fitchburg. Soon aft
er he leased another hotel in CharlestOwn,
n. H., and of late has been up there and
this house has been closed. Mr.. Lunan
came down and opened it for the Valley
fair, returning on Thursday evening and
leaving the house in charge of several per-
sons who were to spend the night there.
About an hour and a half after their de-
parture the fire was discovered.

For q long time past tbs democracy Of
Yakima have been endeavoring to secure
Col. James Hamilton Lewis to make the
opening campaign speech at this place,
and at last success has crowned their ef-
forts, for Col. Lewis will be here on Sat-
urday and deliver M address at Mason's
opera-house. Col. lewis is recognized as
one Of the most brilliant speakers In the
northwest, and the mere announcement
Of his coming will be sufficient to attract
an immense audience. The difficulty
will be to find room for those who want
to hear him, and the Indications are that
only those who attend early will realize
theis pleasure. The seats in the opera
house are to be re-arran9ed 10 order to
accommodate the largest number, but no
assurances are given even Of standing
room except to those who are prompt in
getting around.
