The Hunt Tavern, long owned
and run by W. L. Hunt, recently
sold to F. L. Darling, was burned
to the ground Tuesday morning
The loss is some 8,000, partially
covered by insurance. A greater
portion of the furnishings were
saved.
At 3:30 Tuesday morning the
alarm of fire sounded and a crowd
quickly assembled; The fire lad
dies soon had a stream upon, the
blaze. The Londonderry boys were
on hand with theit engine, and but
for the united efforts of the two
companies who worked so nobly, it
is probable that a large portiou of
upper Main street would have been
destroyed.

pump. It wis" owing to wet build-
ings, little or no wind and wise
management, that the hotel barn
was saved.
The personal effects of inmate3
of the hotel were consumed by the
flames. - ' -
Both the local and Londonderry

management, worked like a charm.
This is a sad blow to Mr. Darling
who was having.a good run of trade
and was well liked by the traveling
public.
At this time it is undescided as
whether Mr. Darling will rebuild
or not.
The direct cause of 'the fire is
unknown, having started in or near
