A RIG BLAZE IN ATHENS

The Hotel Athens of Athens, owned
and managed by Henry Bopf for the
past thirteen years, was totally de-
stroyed by fire Thursday evening
not even the contents of this famous
hostelry being saved. The hotel was
erected in that village more than
thirty years ago and was noted for
its hospitality and service during all
these years.
The origin of the hotels destruc-
ton, it is said. was caused possibly
by the furnace pipe leading into the
chimney becoming detached or over
heated. Starting in the basement it
soon enveloped the building and it
was soon in ruins, which is a severe
loss to the owner and the people of
that lively burg.
The loss on building on contents
is more than $4,000. on which there
is insurance of $4,000.
The volunteer fire department did
noble work in protecting surround
ing property. continuing the big blaze
to its immediate locality.
The proprietor eontemplates re-
building at once or as soon as the
weather and other conditions permit.
