LAKE JUNALUSKA
HOTEL BURNS

AsheviIle, Oct. 17.-Fire of un.
known origin yesterday afternoon at
5 o'clock totally destroyed the Audi
forum hotel at Lake Junalaska, the
Southern Methodist assembly grounds
near Waynesville. The loss is esti-
mated at $75,000 which was partially
covered by insurance. The building
was owned by the Southern Metho-
dist assembly and was one of the
first buildings to be erected on the
grounds.
All of the conferences had ended
at the grounds several weeks ago,
but large boys camp, in charge OF
Col. Snyder, was using the hotel, but
all escaped without injury. There
were plenty Of people and plenty OF
water, but, owing to the fact that the
building was in flames and had a
good start before anyone discovered
it, the entire building was destroyed.
The building was directly opposite
the main auditorium at the assembly
grounds, and was crescent-shaped,
one wing being used as the admins
tration offices of the assembly. This
is the second serious fire that has
been experienced at the grounds
since they were opened, Hotel jun
alaska having been burned with a
heavy loss only few years ago. An
official of the assembly stated to-
night that he was quite sure that the
assembly would rebuild the hotel and
have it ready by the time the con-
ferences open next spring.
The fire was discovered in the roof
of the huge frame structure and
had gained such Roadway that the
splendid assistance given by the
large number of people still on the
grounds, with an ample supply of
water, was not enough to extin-
guish the flames. All the boys at
tending the fall camp, which was
planning to move to Florida soon,
were able to remove the greater part
of their belongings and no one was
injured.
