Marriage Announcement

The following taken from a recent
issue of the Morning Sentinel, published

the many friends of the prospective
bride, whose parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Geo. w. Hurd. reside here:
San approaching marriage of inter-
est to many Orlando people was di-
vulged last evening when Mr.. and Mrs.
George w. Hurd, of Clio, Michigen,
announced the coming marriage of their
daughter, Myrtle Sylvia, to Mr.. NAL
colin Guy Empie. The marriage will
take place in Orlando at an early date.
For six years Miss Hurd has been
the efficient manager of the Western
Union Telegraph office in Orlando, and
by her pleasing personality and close
attention to the duties of her office has
won respect from business and profess
sional men without number and has
gained wide circle of close and per-
sonal friends. Mis- Hurd has made
her home at the fremont hotel.

local Office came through deserved
merit. He has been in the telegraph

company. The Sentinel joins with a
host of friends in extending congratu-
lations.

MILK CONDENSERY Z
DESTROYED BY FIRE
LOSS AT LEAST $4,000 WITH $l9,-
600 INSURANCE
Fire Started About 9:l5 Friday Evening
and Was Result of Explosion in
Dry Milk Cabinet

What was probably the most dsas-
trous fire in the history of Clio took
place last Friday evening, at about 9.l5
o'clock, when the fine, new milk con-
densery that opened for business but
little more than year ago "a year ago
in March to be exacD was largely de-
stroyed by fire originating in an explo-
sion that took place in the milk drying
cabinet.
The cause of the explosion is thought
to have been spontaneous combustion,
but it may have been due to defect
i've electric light wire or to the burst
ing of the incandescent lamp in the cab
met A high degree of heat was neces-
sary to evaporate the moisture from
the milk, which was introduced into
the cabinet at the top in the form of
spray and had to be converted into
thoroughly dry powder by the time it
reached the floor. This result was ac-
complished by forcing superheated air
into the cabinet and withdrawing the
same by means of powerful blowers.
On the evening of the fire the blower
used to force the hot air into the cabi-
net was not working well, so that the
air was sent into the cabinet at inter-
walls and was, therefore, more than or
dinarilly hot. The milk powder falling
in the cabinet was likewise unusually
hot, so that when it was exposed to
spark or flame the whole room suddenly
ignited after the fashion of gas in the
cylinder of gasoline engine.
The infiammable character of pow
dered milk was not suspected previous
to the fire, but the ferceness and per-
sistency with which it burned demon
strates that it is very combustible, at
least under certain circumstances.
The explosive origin of the fire is un-
unquestionable. Lester Hurd, who was
working in the factory, started just
before the explosion took place to en-
ter the main part of the factory from
the engine room for the purpose of as
cending the stairs of the cabinet to see
how things were goirg, but as he step
ped into the doorway the whole cabinet
blew up, the bricks falling in heaps about
his feet. If he had been a minute
earlier in his purpose he would certainly
have been.killed and had the accident oc-
cured in the day time. when all the en-
ployes were present, large number
would in all probability have lost their
lives, as the whole central part Of the
structure became roaring mass of
flames. Henry Hamer who lives nearby
was an eye witness of the whole affair.
He was sitting in his front yard when

YOUNG GIRL TRAMP
IN MANS CLOTHES
PICKED UP IN CLIO BY DEPUTY
E. L. POWERS
Claimed to Have Been Visiting in Flint
and Was Walking to Home
in Saginaw,

Chauncey Bates, P. M. crossing tend
er, noticed tramp ambling along the
track. Wednesday morning, who appear
ed different from the regular line of
hobos. with whom Chauncey is more
familiar, perhaps, than any other per-
son in Clio. The figure was clad in a
suit of clothes several sizes too large,
and the face that showed beneath the
forepiece of an old blue cap looked
strangely feminine, moreover several
wisps of long hair futtered from the
confning band of said cap. So. Chaun-
cey notified Deputy Sheriff E. l.. Pow
ers, and while the latter is no longer
on the the county pay roll. he took the
girl, for such the party proved to be,
in charge, and did what he could for her
interest and protection.
The young lady gave her name as
Florence Bradley, and claimed to be an
orphan, making her home with Mrs.
Allen in Saginaw, for whom she said
she worked as domestic. She said she
had walked to Flint on Monday to visit
lady friend and that as she did not
have any money and her friend was
in the same predicament, she decided
to walk back home and assumed male
attire in order to be relieved of any
embarrassment.
Deputy Powers called up the Flint
police department, and inasmuch as
they knew nothing about the girl,
he thought the best thing to do would
be to take up little collection, get
her some proper clothing, and send her
on to Saginaw. Several young ladies
os the village, learning of the girls
plight, generously contribted shoes and
clothing to her costume, and straw
hat was purchased, so that a really
grand Transformation was worked in
her appearance and she seemed quite
prepossessing Miss.
The girl was unquestionably young
and did not appear brazen or depraved.
There were, however, some doubtful
points about her story, in view of which
the Saginaw police were communicated
with and, on her arrival in that city,
took her in charge in order to verify
her story and see that she was properly
cared for.
Generous citizens contributed about
$3.50 for the girls relief, but mas
much as the whole of this sum was not
required, and she claimed to have
money at home, balance of $1.3 re-
mains. which will be used as the nucleus
of welfare" fund to assist other
worthy unfortunates.

ROYAL WELSH LADIES' CHOIR

Shortly before touring America Ma
dame Hughes Thomas, who directs the
Royal Welsh Ladies' Choir, sang for
the King and Queen in Windsor Castle.
Their Majesties were so highly pleased
with the concert that alohough they
had allowed but twenty minutes for the
choir they remained an hour and half,
making frequent special requests for
the renditions of their favorite num-
bers. At the close of the concert they
dined Madame Hughes-Thomas and con-
ferred upon her choir the word ''R yal,"
and that is how the choir came to be
called the Royal Welse Ladies Choir"
This organization, including the same
personnel that appeared before their
Majesties. will sing the preludes to the
Chautauqua the afternoon and night of
the sixth day of Clio Chantauqua.

through one of the upper windows of
the factory. He then walked to the
corner near the railroad, where he saw
a second spark, and a moment later
heard the dull boom of the explosion,
following which the whole central part
of the building Immediately became
seething mass of fire.
Repeated and prolonged blowing of
the factory and electric light plant whis-
ties quickly aroused nearly every citizen
in town and the fire department was
soon on the scene, doing good work
in saving the engine room of the fact
ory, which was but little damaged, and
saving nearby buildings from distruct-
ion, but saving the main portion of
the factory would have been an imossi-
BILE task for any fire company no matter
how well equipped
The factory cost more than $40, 900. 90
to build and equip, we are informed,
and there was stored in it, at the time
of the fire, about eight carloads of dry
milk, which was sold and awaiting ship
ment, and was valued at SIS, 100000. If
this milk had been out of the building,
not only might the factory have been
saved, but it's value might hpve been
used in repairing damages and continu-
ing the business. AS it was, it formed
huge mass of extremely infiammable
material that made checking the fire
impossible, is in itself total loss, and
four days after the fire started was
still burning like pile of coke. Two
hundred barrels of powder had prev
iously been removed and were stored in
the elevator.
A. series of misfortunes, almost un
belevable in their steady sequence, has
seemed to assail the company. In the
first place it was inadequately capital
lied, consequently inadequately equip
ped, which fact resulted in the loss of
thousands of pounds of milk during the
first year of operation. The water
supply was found to be far short of re-
quirements and an expensive pumping
station aud pipe line from the creek
had to be constructed. This had just
been gotten into effective operation,
when, in September last, the pump
house was mysteriously burned, entail
ing quite a loss. This was rebuilt and
electricity instead of gasoline put in for
power. Chas. Wolohan, of Birch Run,
had in the meantime become interested
in the factory, and soon realizing that it
needed to be in the hands of exper-
fenced persons, deal was consumma-
ted whereby the factory was sold, early
this spring, to New York parties for
$40, 900. 90, a sum sufficient to have let
the original stock holders out without
loss, but before this deal could be
closed, a suit for infringement of pat
ent intervened and the sale was lost.
This suit was won by the Merrill-Soule
Company and in the settlement which
followed that company, in considera-
tion of the payment of its royalty of
one cent per pound, agreed to purchase
the entire dry milk output of the local
factory which had heretofore been
rather difficult to dispose of. Thus,
