HOTEL DESTROYED. !
$4,000 Blaze on Lyndeboro, N. H., Noun.
tain Seen Ten Miles Away.

Lyndeboro, n H., May 4.-The Pin
nacle house on the top of Lyndeboro
mountain, was destroyed by fire that
started at 1880 last night. The blaze
was seen for miles in every direction and
was plainly visible in Milford and Will
ton, each at least 10 miles away.
An automobile engine was sent from
Milford, but failed to reach here, as the
roads were in bad condition.
The place has not been occupied since
last summer, when it was opened for p
few weeks only. Since that time it has
been boarded up and there has been no
caretaker ON the premises. The cause of
the fire is a mystery, as no one lives near
the place
The building was built about four
years ago. 1t was one OF the biggest
summer hotels in the state, but owing to
its isolated position met with small pat
ronage. The hotel had about 100 rooms
and was completely furnished. The build
ing with contents was wholly destroyed,
causing a loss estimated at $4,000.
