fortunate that the regular season. OF

There were few guests at the springs
and all were accommodated by the
small cabins which were scattered
around. rIoJ -
The loss on the hotel will be at

phenson was not at the springs at the
time of the fire. A crew of twenty five
carpenters hadiust completed a large
job of repairing and left the hotel
Wednesday morning. The carpen-
tiers were mostly Knoxville men,
Contractor Abrams of that city did
the wood work and Rourke. & Nc
iDonough some water connections.
There is4nolclue as to the origin Of

be Of incendiary origin. Last Sun
day the hotel caught fire from some
unknown cause in the basement and
butfor the water works which had
just been completed by Rourke & Co.
the hotel would havelbeen destroyed
at that time. 1@4fg .tvy
