SIGLER HOTEL BURNED.

Popular Summer Hostelry at Cedar Lake Destroyed Friday Morning The Sigler hotel, the largest and best patronized summer resort at Cedar Lake, was completely destroyed by fire last Friday morning. The loss, it is reported, will reach $50,000. The caretaker, a Chicago man, named McLaughlin, had a narrow escape from the building. This hotel occupied a prominent point on the west bank of the lake and was patronized during the summer season by many Chicago people, and many Rensselaer people have also went there for outings in years gone by.
