Fire Destroys Home
of St. David Man
Residence of Steve Miller
Burned Sunday Night

The residence of Mr., Steve Mil
Ter, abont two mites beyond St.
David, caught fire about g: 80
o clock last Sunday night and was
burned completely down, The FAM
lily had all gone to church except
Harold, sixteen year old son.
who was asleep when the building
caught from lamp left burning.
He says the lamp must have ex-
ploded, as when he awoke the
room was in flames, and he par-
rowly escaped in his night clothes.
The house and contents were a to-
tai loss, which Mr.. Miller places at
1000, with no insurance.
The fire destroyed over 5000 in
paper currency, besides some sill
yer and gold. The coins were not
melted, but the heat caused some
of them to stick tightly together.
Mr.. Miller had just received pay
ment on a shipment of cattle and
hadn't had an opportunity to de-
posit the money in bank,
Besides the money loss the fam
lily had some almost invaluable
heirloom, of various kinds, all of
which were destroyed.
This was one of the prettiest
places around St. David with album
dance of shade trees and shruhbery,
which were all ruined. Mr. Mil
Ter and family have secured tenn
porary quarters, but will rebuild at
once upon the site of the burned
building,

High School Building
Sold by the State
Benson High School Board
Purchasers of Building

In conformity with an act of the
last legislature, as advertised in the
Signal, the High School building
was sold yesterday at public auc-
ton in Tombstone, the purchaser
being the Benson High School
Board. The building, formerly
used as the State Industrial School
and since the removal of the school
to Ft. Grant occupied by the Ben
son Union High School, has for
the past two or three years been
under negotiation to purchase by
the board, but one hitch or another
has prevented the consummation of
the sale. The minimum price set
by the State was $500, which was
the sum bid and accepted. But a
single bid was made, which was
offered by Mr.. II. w. Etz, chair
man of the school board.
The property consists of the large
school building of stone, several
smaller buildings, pumping plant,
about forty acres of land and the
town lots occupied by the build
ings and grounds.
Two members of the high school
board in addition to Chairman H.
w. Etz were present at the sale,
M. p. Cosby and L. T. Coons,
and Mr.. H. @. Robertson, princi-
pal of the school.

HELP THE RED CROSS

If you are real American you must contribute to
the war fund of the Red Cross during the week of June
18th to 18th, whether you believe yourself able
If you are real American it is not question of giving
from your surpluS-you must give and keep on giving
until you can give no more and even after that you
must keep on.
Do you know what the Red Cross does Some day
'soneWhere in France, when our soldiers are in the
trenches, line of American boys will leap over their
top of their trenches, slip through the barbed Wire and
in face of high explosive sheds, gas liquid fire. shfap
ne grenades machine gun and rifle fire, face the barbed
wire in front OF enemy trenches for the bare chance of
meeting bayonet with bayOne other boys no more to
blame for this war than they are.
What of the fallen If the Red Cross is ready the
ambulance corps of the fighting regiments will carry the
wounded back through the communicating trenches to
the dressing station. Here Red Cross surgeons under
the direct control of the United States Medical Depart
ment, will give first aid. The wounded will be turned
to Red Cross ambuances and carried back to the
Red RroSS field hospital for immediate attention. From
the Red Cross field hospital Red Cross ambuanceS Red
Cross trains and in France Red Gross canal boats
will carry the back to the Red Cross base hospitals
If the wound is not fatal Red Cross cOnVaeSCing sta
ton will take of the soldier till he is ready 90
baCe to the front, If the man is disabled Red Cross
steamer will bring him back to America, and the Red
Cross receiving station will for him. send him home
and on top of that look after his family after he is
wounded just will have looked after his family all
the time he has been away.
Every dollar that comes in is spent by the best busi
ness men in America for supplies and materials desg-
mated by the Medical Department of the United States
Army, the department that has stamped out yellow
fever, as well as other great national sCourges.

Likes Arizona

Mr.. James Toman, of San Fran
cisco, Cal, mining man of long
and varied experience, is in town
as he says, upon a little mining
venture, which if successful will
probable decide him to make his
home among us. Mr.. Toman, who
claims the land of Bobby Burns as
his birthplace has been a long time
resident of the Pacific slope and
has witnessed and taken part in
many of the mining booms of the
western country, including Tomb
stone in its wild and Woolly days.
He says the Arizona air agrees
with him and thinks this part of
the country is destined to become
an important mining section He
has been around looking things
over little and thinks this a beau
tiful little valley and Benson an
excellent location for a good, pros.
porous town.
