Chick Springs Hotel Burned.

Greehville, Dec. 14.-Telephonic
dispatches from Taylor's station say
that the Chick Springs Hotel caught
fife about 10 o'clock this evening
and was burned to the ground. At
o'clock this morning the ruins were
still blazing, but the fire had spent
its force. The origin Of the fire is
not known. There was no one in the
building when the fire started, the
hotel being closed. . Ha" s... .

had not yet opened for the winter
season.
The old building, occupied by the
manager, j. A. Bull, which was in
close proximity to the burned strnc-
ture, was threatened, but did not
catch fire. The cottages belonging to
the hotel were also undamaged.
The hotel was valued at 100000
to $4,000, and with the addition of
the value of the furniture would
bring the total loss to about $780,
900. There is some insurance, but
the loss will not be covered.
