FIRE AT THORSEN FARM.
Horse Barn and Valuable Farming
Machinery DaStr0Yed

Horse Barn and valuable Farming
Machinery Destroyed.
The large horse barn on the west
side of the highway at the Thorsen
farm in West Hancock was de-
stroyed by fire shortly before mid
night Monday night. The horses,
two automobiles and some of the
farming machinery were saved from
the building, but much valuable ma
chinery, harness, hay and grain
were lost. The ice-house at the
rear of the barn was also burned.
The total loss is estimated at $20,-
900, with only 81, 900 insurance on
the building, and none on the con-
tents.
The fire was discovered shortly
after II O'Clock, in the top of the
barn, then all ablaze. The theory
is advanced that it was caused by
spontaneous combustion in the hay.
Efforts were first turned to saving
the panic-stricken horses, which was
accomplished with difficulty. Two
automobiles were also removed from
the floor of the barn, and some Of
the farming machinery was moved
from the basement, but the flames
spread rapidly and soon drove the
workers from the barn.
The building, completed last
year, was 7Ox3O feet in size, on
heavy concrete foundation, with
basement for storage of heavy farm
machinery. The floor of the barn
was of cement, with stalls, harness
room, and every modern con-
venience of an up-to-date horse
barn. In the loft were ten tons of
hay, 225 bushels of rye just threshed
out, and straw and grain. Among
the farm machinery destroyed was
a Moline tractor, a binder and
reaper, and other valuable farming
machinery; also a fine equipment of
farming tools, harness, etc.

IS 1T DOUBLE KIDNAPPING.
Warrants Issued for j. Fred Moves
and Ralph Hamilton.


and Ralph Hamilton.
j. Fred Moves, who is under
$1,000 bonds on the charge of kid
mapping Aida B. Bennoch, the fif-
teen-year-old daughter of Charles
P. Bennoch of Green Lake, has
again disappeared, and the girl also
is missing This time sister of
the girl, Arvilla, one year older, is
also missing, coincidently with the
disappearance of Ralph Hamilton of
Green Lake, who was a witness for
the State in the kidnapping case
heard in the Ellsworth municipal
court.
Charles P. Bennoch, the father,
believes it is case of double kid
mapping, and is offering a reward
for information that will lead to
the apprehension of the quartette.
Warrants for kidnapping were is
sued against both Moves and Hamil-
ton Monday.
The story of the first kidnapping
has already been told. Moves, who
is forty-five years old, formerly
lived in Berry's Mills, in Oxford
county. For some time he has
been employed as foreman of mill
July last he took the girl Aida, in
his car. to Bangor, leaving her with
an aunt there for the night. He re-
turned to Green Lake the next day,
and upon hearing that a warrant
to Bangor and took the girl from
her aunt's home to the home of
some of his own relatives in Berrys
Mills. He was arrested upon his
return to Green Lake day or two
personal belongings. The girl was
brought home from Berry's Mills.
Moves was arraigned in the ELS
charged with kidnapping. He was
found guilty, and was bound over
for the October term of the supreme
court in the sum of 81 900, bail be-
ing furnished by two Green Lake
friends.
Among the witnesses for the
State at the hearing was Ralph
Hamilton, aged twentythree, who
had been keeping company with Ar
villa Bennoch, the sixteen-year-old
sister. He testified to rides in
which he, and Moves, with the two
SlSLoTS, IQduo up d qudIletlo. IL
was intimated by the questioning of
the attorneys, though not admitted
as evidence, and also by an admis-
sion of the older sister, that she and
Hamilton had planned an elope-
ment at the same time, but for some
reason not disclosed, their plan fell
through.
On July 81, while their father
was away from home fighting for
est fire, both girls disappeared.
Confidently, Moves and Hamilton
disappeared, and were seen speed
ing through the little Green Lake
settlement in Noyes' car, going
from the direction of the girls home
toward the Bangor road The
girls were not seen with them, but
it is now believed that they were
in the bottom of the car and out of
sight.
Moves returned to Green Lake the
following day, but after a day or
two again disappeared, and has not
been seen since. Hamilton and the
girls have not been seen since
July 81.
Noyes' car is six-cylinder REQ,
bearing the license number 29,322.

FOUR CHINESE HELD
 ON GAMBLING CHARGE
Raid on Gambling Resort Nets Ori- entals, Chips and Cards After
 Door Battered Down
(From saturday's pailyl

Arrested ear Thursday morning at 14S South Granite street by of ficers from the sheriff's office, Jim Louie, Charlie Wing, Yee Wo and Tom Yee, yesterday were charged with conducting gambling resort, and were released on bonds of $100 each when arraigned before Judge C. H. McLane in the justice court. They will appear before Judge Me Lane for hearing shortly.
 The four Chinese made a quartette of oriental amazement when the delegation from the sheriff's office suddenly swooped down upon them and gathered them in, together with two large sacks of chips, playing cards and dominoes. Deputy Sheriff Jim Cook, heading the delegation, broke through two barred doors to reach the gambling celestials, and by the time the doors were down, those present had hidden much of the in- eliminating evidence. Enough was left, however, to justify an arrest.

FIRE BURNS QUARTER
 ACRE ON JERSEY ROAD
(Frorn Friday,s pailyl


 What might have developed into a forest fire of considerable size last night was got under control and ex- tinguished by J. C. McNulty, ranger in charge of the Prescott district, when the blaze was reported to the forest service office here about 6 o'clock.
 The fire occurred four miles out on the Jersey Lily road, and covered about quarter of an acre of ground. Word of the blaze was telephoned in to the sheriff's office, Deputy Sheriff Jim Cook immediately phoning the information to the forest service. McNulty was quickly located, and proceeded immediately to the scene, where he soon got the blaze under control.
 Due to the wind arising at about the time the fire occurred, it was feared that if the blaze should spread 1t would do considerable damage. The fire is believed to have been caused by a carelessly-dropped match or cigarette.

O'NEILL BLOCK TO
 HAVE NEW WIRING
Building on Gurley and Montezuma Will Be Modernly Fitted Out by
 Vyne Brothers Company

In line with the 1921 idea of Pro- gressive Prescott, (. A. Peter, who is in charge of the O'Neil block, on the northeast corner of Gurley and Montezuma streets, in which is To- cated the E. A. Kastner grocery, has arranged for complete rewiring of this building. The work will be done after specifications similar to those carried out in rewriting the Bashford block, work on which is just nearing completion by Vyne Brothers Electric company. The con- tract for rewriting the O'Neill block has also been let to Vyne Brothers company.
 Rewiring of this building calls for equipment modern in every way, the wires to be carried in conduit thru the entire building. Much of the wiring in older buildings in Prescott was done about 20 years ago, fol- lowing the 1900 fire, at a time when modern fire prevention requirements and safeguards were not followed as they are today; and in consequence of this it is felt that much of this old wiring constitutes, or may con- stitute, a grave fire menace. It will be recalled that the rewriting of the Bashford block followed the recent fire which threatened to burn out several stores on the street level of the building.
 Work on the O'Neill building will commence immediately.

Yount, president of the chamber of commerce, that Prescott citizens name day to paint or white-wash the fairgrounds fence, purchase the paint or white-wash, and then take day off, don over alls, and fall to.
 The suggestion was made at Thursday nights meeting of the chamber of commerce. Chris Tot ten discussed the crying need of paint that characterizes the fair grounds fence, suggested that every man willing to jump in stand up then and there, and then promptly sat down.

WALKER MINING GROWTH DEMAND r F0R GOOD ROAD

Considerable development work is going on in Walker, it was brought out at Thursday nights meet ing of the chamber of commerce in a talk by J. R. Alderman, of the Sheldon mine, who considers that the Walker district looks like a permanent proposition, promising a future revenue to Prescott and Yava- pal county.
 The greater part of the operations in the district, Ackerman explained, are at present confined to explora- tion and development. It will be re- membered that the Sheldon mine re gently struck a promising ore body. Alderman stated 1t was not yet known how rich, or how extensive this ore body is, but stated it as his belief that, taken with other work in the section, 1t IS such as to warrant this forecast of a permanent district close to this city. The Sheldon mine has been operating for the past two years.
 Alderman appeared before the chamber of commerce, not only to state the conditions of the Walker district but to argue its need for a road from Prescott. It developed in the course of his remarks that with the growth of the camps in the district, increased population and in- creased activity has necessitated larger shipments of supplies, and that the road over which these supplies must, be hauled is inadequate.
 Until now, he said, the residents and operators of the district have naintained parts of the road at their own expense. But, he continued, they now feel that, having something to offer the county in the way of a prospective permanent district, they feel justified in asking. the county for aid in constructing an adequate road from this city to tap the district
