TWO CARS 90 IN FIRE
SHEDS oS Western Msrchandass q
Set Fire From Bssrning Leaves

SHEDS Of Western Merchanmss W
Set Fire From Burning Leaves
An Oldsmobile roadster belonging
to II. ]. Hodge, q Ford sedan and
boxes Of aluminium and enamelware
belonging to the Western Merchandise
Co. were destroyed by . spectacular
fire near noon today when the SHEDS
back of the Western Merchandise
building on Buckeye, next to the post
office, caught fire from burning
leaves believed to have been ignited
by a spark from a locomotive. The
roadster was fully insured but the
sedan which had been recently pur-
chased by the company had not been
insured. One Ford which stood In
the shed was run out In time to save
it and another which ordinarily
stands there, was In use.
The blaze had made considerable
Roadway before the alarm was turned
In, owing to the strong wind. Sew
era people In the court house saw the
smoke and the blaze before any alarm
was given and thought 1t was bon
fire between the sheds and the fence
which Is at the side Of the Seelye Air
dome. The fence was burned as was
the stage of the airdOme. The front
of the airdome In which Harold
Hoover has his offices was not hurt,
though the furnishings were moved
out to save them In case 1t should
catch fire. No damage was done to
the Badger lumber yard which ad-
Joined the burning structure.
The fire department responded
promptly and did efficient work pro-
tecting the buildings adjacent to the
fire. The heat of the blaze broke the
windows in the back of the Western
Merchandise building. Flying sparks
carried by wind started fires at resi-
dences to the north but these were
quickly extinguished by the owners.
The Merchandise building Is owned
by Hodge Bros. and the Western I'm
plement Dealers Association offices
are on the second floor. The rear OF
the building was damagel and for a
time it was In danger. H. ]. Hodge,
secretary, and all the employees were
mighty busy gathering the records
for removal.

DICKINSON COUNTY
MEMORIAL HOSPITAL
A Brief History
AAAAAeA&AeAeA et

The associated business interests OF
Abilene through the Abilene CONNER
cial Club and the Business Mems
Association started the movement
about January, 1920, which has crys-
talixed into a Memorial Hospital.
After investigating the feasibility OF
a memorial hospital either to be voted
on by the people. Of Dickinson County,
the City OF Abilene, or by popular
subscription, the latter plan was
adopted as the only feasible way.
There being no other projects in Dick
inson county to recognize the valor
and heroism Of Its sons and daughters
In the World War, 1t was deemed
doubly fitting and appropriate that a
Memorial Hospital should be built by
q popular subscription. Dickinson
county contributed $250,O0 for all
war drives by popular subscription
and more than her average number
required to fill volunteer and draft
quotas.
Canvass for funds was carried on
through the years Of 1920 and 1921
and on the date Of November 10, 1921,
a total subscription Of $66y943.44 Is
on the books Of the company. OF
this amount about $25,S43.71 has
been collected In cash. In July, 1920,

WILL HAVE TWO CONNECTIONS
Wire Controlling Water Pump to Be
Better Protected

Il. A. Gray Of the Riverside Light
Power & Gas Co. appeared before the
city commissioners at their regular
session to explain the arrangement
which has been worked out to pro-
tect the $4,000 volt wire which con-
ducts current to the pumping plant
for extra pressure during a fire. The
wire at present goes directly into the
old Brown building and In case OF
fire might burn in two, thus cutting
off the water supply. The wire has
to- be transferred to the new Brown
building when 1t is completed and the
commissioners found that It VIII cost
the city little more to convey 1t under
ground than above. Two connections
also will be made instead Of one as at
present so that the second would keep
the line clear should the first connec-
ton be severed.
