Insurance Expired Four Days Before Sigler Hotel Fire.

Speaking of the loss by fire of the Sigler, hotel at Cedar Lake, the Lake County Star says: “Since Mr. Sigler left the place three years ago it has been run by his daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. A. J. McLaughlin. It is said three sisters named Brown, owned the place and carried some insurance on the building but none on the furnishings and fixtures. The ice house was just filled that day and was also burned, and it is said quite a store of liquor? ar Ul cigars were burned. A late report says there was no insurance on contents and that the insurance on the building expired four days before it was burned.”
