Johnson Hotel, Sunbright
Destroyed by Fire

One of the most destructive firel
which has visited Sunbright fol
many years occurred last Friday
evening about six o'clock.
The first intimation the citizens
had of the fire was when flames
burst from the upper story. The
fire is supposed to have been caus.
ed by a defective fue.
With the aid of many citizens
much of the furniture and house
hold goods were saved. The no tel
building was totally destroyed
All that saved the store and 9th
er property across the street was
the direction of the wind which
blew the sparks in an opposite di-
rection and away from them.
The botel building was valued
valued at some six thousand dollare
and was insured for $4,000.
The furniture loss was about
$4,000 on which there was $4,000
insurance we were informed.
The second building burned was
owned by Russ Freels and was oc-
cupied by Mr. Saufcy. The loss
was complete as there was no in
Surance.
