TOWN OF VERDI NEAR
LYDESTROYED BY fire
Business District Consumed BY
Flames Believed to be Of In
cendiary Origin. Loss
Will Reach $4,000

Every means at hand were used to
check the flames but to no avail and
the result is that the business dis
trct of the town is Quilted.
That the fire was Of incendiary ori-
gin is beyond a reasonable doubt as
the flames could not have started be-
tween the walls Of the saloons unless
placed there. The fact that the hose
was cut also leads to the belief that
it was a pre-arranged affair.
The loss was estimated at $4,000
this morning but it is now believed
that it will reach about half that
amount.
This is the third time the town has
been threatened with obstruction by
fire Of an incendiary origin.

city of Chicago. He came to Michi-
gan when he was only three weeks old
His younger days were spent on a farm,
during the summer earning money
with which to attend the district school,
five miles away, in the winter. At the
age of Is he entered the mercantile life
in Flint. From there he went to Fen
ton, staying in the latter place some
eight years. Then he located in the
city Of Detroit, being there for FIVE
years.
At that time he. sold to his partner

tered the Auditor Generals office, re-
naming there six years. This was in

me PARK COMMIssION.

A Park Commission is something
new to Yale, we never having a park
worth improving. But since the acces-
sion of the grove west of the city, the
need of this new board was imperative.
Riverside Park was sold and the pro-
ceeds were given over to establish a
fund for this commission. From now
on the city park will be the center of
attraction for some time TO come. The
first thing to be done will be the laying
out of baseball diamond west of the
grove, SO that the boys can get it into
shape. Then dyveways will be laid
out, one along the creek, one just east
of the grove, one just west of the trees,
and one at the extreme western edge
of the park. When the roads are
staked out, trees and flower beds will
be planted. 1t is planned to have ten
mis- courts near the southwest corner
of the park.
A well constructed sidewalk will lead
TO the center of the grove. The under
brush along Mill Creek will be cut
down and the channel widened. All
along the north and east sides the creek
will be diked to keep out the spring
freshets. In time a dam will be built
across the creek to raise il three feet
for boating, etc.
The members of this commission are:

cy and Jas. Wallace.
