terest in the property. W. A. Segar has
been secured to manage the hotel. A. o.
Brooks Is acting as clerk temporarily,
and it Is the general opinion that the
house is now under competent manage
ment. The trade was contaminated Tues
day, and Mr.. Segar and Mr.. Brooks COM
menced their labors yesterday. There
was a good business yesterday, and it is
hoped that it will continue, as the loss
that has resulted from the efforts of a few
of the leading men of the town to have
good hotel here has already been heavy
enough. 1t Is probable that the hotel
will again be sold as soon as the prelimi-
naries can be arranged. In the mean
time every effort will be made to keep
the hotel up to the high standard that
1t under the management of
Landlord Fowle. Although the season
is advancing, 1t Is possible that quite
little summer business can be done this
season. The cattle show business is al
ways an important item, and the hotel is
bound to be crowded to It's full capacity
