There Is additional danger for any
persons who may be In the canon, as
the burning trees as they twist and
break dislodge rocks OF all sizes from
among their roots, and send them
crashing down the hillside to the val
ley. Mr.. Schaeffer while trying to
get his family out. was between the
two great heats on the hillsides ut
each side of the canon. and In con-
slant danger of being crushed as
well as being burned to death. He
got two of the children out to

turned for the others. he thought for
a time. that he would never be able to
rescue them from the rocks and
flames. The Hayden family were
ont there last Sunday and were very
fortunate in not getting caught in
the disaster. Since the road has been
built. many families have gone out
that way on pleasure trips. and 1t has
become quite a favorite outing place.
Mr.. Schaeffer thinks the fire was
started from a smudge fire. built by

camping in these parts. It is feared
that the fires will continue indefinite

valley. unless there is a change In
