WOMAN KEEPS HER NERVE
Pluck of Mrs. w. C. Alexander Pre-
vents Serious Fire at Brans-
ford Apartments.

The pluck and cool-headedness of Mrs.
w. c. Alexander prevented what might
have proved serious fire in the Brans-
ford apartments Tuesday morning
Through the efforts of Mrs. Alexander
the blaze was held in control until the
house hose could be brought into use.
and damage was confined to about 500
on the building and SIS on furniture in
the suite occupied by Mr.. and Mrs. Alex
ander.
The fire occurred about 1920 o'clock
Mrs. Alexander at the time was clean
ings ribbons with gasoline, and the fric-
ton caused by the rubbing Of silks caused
ignition of the gasoline. With her hands
wrapped in flames Mrs. Alexander re-
tanned her presence of mind and turned
in an alarm, and then began to fight
the increasing fire. The apparatus from
engine house No responded but the
firm was extinguished before it reached
the Bransford.
Mrs. Alexander suffered badly blist-
cred hand. but otherwise escaped from
injury.

SCHOOL ELECTION TODAY.
Belief That Good Vote viii Be PoIled
in Different Wards.

There is keen interest in the school
election and it is thought that a fair
vote will be polled An effort has been
made TO find some real live issue during
the short campaign. but the attempt has
amounted to but little. About the only
thing that seems to stick at all is the
fact that the members of the present
board are, with one exception. Demo-
Gratis. Some of those who would like to
inject politics into Ogden's school sys-
TEN are making a fight along these
lines.
Although the present board is Demo-
cratic. it has at no time worked along
partisan lines. This is shown by the
fact that about all the persons appointed
by the board. outside the teachers and
principals are Republicans. This is true

perntendent. the clerk OF the board ami
the supply man.
The Democrats have named five men

WALLS ABSENCE
ALARMS FRIENDS.
Mystery Concerning Fireman'S
Fund Gives Disappearance
an Ugly Look.

The disappearance of Former Fire
Chief Charles r. Vail during the past
two weeks has caused widespread spec
ulation, and is now furnishing a COM
mon topic of street talk II is now
Two weeks since he was seen on the
streets. and so far no clue as to his
whereabouts has been obtained The
particular interest attaching to his
disappearance is the fact that ne was
the custodian of a fund amounting to
$1,000 part of which belonged to the
Firemen's Relief association.
During the past few months shadows
have fallen across the path of Salt
Lakes former fire chief After he sew
cred his connection with the depart
ment he engaged in various enterprises
being connected with an automobile
house on South Main street and also
Identified with a saloon on Commercial
street.
Some two weeks ago he disposed of
his interest in the automobile estab-
iishment, and since about that time
has not been seen. His numerous re-
verses are believed by his friends to
have affected him mentally and also
brought on i'll health.
Where Is Firemen's Fund?
In connection with his disappearance
there is an insistent ugly intimatiOn
that all is rot right with the firemen's
fund which he held in trust. This fund
is in reality a benefit fund for the
members of the fire department and
was created and made up by contribu-
lions from various individual sources
IS mark of appreciation of the work
done by the fire fighters. During his
term as fire chief Vail evidently han
died the firemen's fund i'm his own way
and failed to give an accounting. After
his enforced resignation his successor,
Chief GlOre, spoke of the fund to Mr.
Vail and was given the assurance that
j., would be placed in the bank under
q deposit TO be known as The Fire
mems Fund" This, it now appears,
however was never done.
So far the firemen have taken no ac-
ton. but it is expected that unless
something is heard of Mr. Vail within
the next day or two and assurance
given OF the safety of the fund, a meet
ing of the firemen's association viii be
held to take action on the matter.
Mrs. Charles L. Vail is at present in
Pasadena, Cal. where she went some
two or three months ago for the bene-
ft Of her health. That she is also in
ignorance of the whereabouts of Mr..
Vail is indicated in a letter written by
her on Nov 10 to an intimate friend
here asking for information regarding
her husband. Although Mr.. Vail was
in the city for at least a week after /
the date of this letter, yet evidently he !
had not been in correspondence with |
his wife.
