DWELLING RuRNS

The home of Dr. T. C. Donald on Dart mouth avenue was burned Saturday morning about 10 o'clock, The fire origi- mated, it is thought, from a defective fiue and so completely had the flames spread throughout the top of the building that when it was first discovered it immedi- ately engulfed the roof of the house, and before 1t could be extingushed the roof, interior and furnishings were de- stroyed The loss is about $5cO, 1t is estimated.
 The intense heat from the burning building endangered the houses on each side, and volunteers with garden hose kept the sparks from igniting the roofs of these, and the home of Mac Clay was damaged some by the heat, and so rapidly did the flames spread that 1t was only the heroic work of the firemen that prevented more serious eonflagra- ton.
 The boys band will be the special at traction at the "Y'' meeting Sunday afternoon at the Grand theatre from S to 4 o'clock. At this meeting a number of impromptu talks will be made and a large crowd is expected

GAKIN RETURNED
TO REF0RM|A1TORI !
YOUNG MAN RECENTLY PARoxHD
CONFESSED HAVING HAND
IN BURaI.ARIEa

Frank Gakin Of this city, who has
been out Of the sSt. Cloud reformatory
on parole since last summer, was re-
turned to that institution Wednesday
afternoon for violation of his parole by
participating in the burglarizing of
the E. A. Berg garage Tuesday night
Of last week..
Gakin was arrested late Thursday
afternoon Of. last week and after some
grilling, he made confession and inn
plicated two. other young men Of this
city. They were taken into custody
but denied any connection with the
burglary and established satisfactory
.alib.
In his confession to the authorities
Gakin said that he acted as lookout
for the other men and did NOT. actually
participate in the burglaries. In the
division of the "swag" he received
$15, he said.
Sheriff Felix notified the adthori-
ties at the state reformatory that
Gakin had violated his parole and an
officer came up. after him Wednesday
afternoon. Seemingly Gakin had no OBJ
lection to returning to the reforma-
tory, in fact he was willing to go back
there, as it was on his own confession
only, that he was returned there. r.. A.
Berg, proprietor of the Berg garage,
where $S5 in cash was secured by
breaking open the safe, chose not TO
prosecute. Gakin was sentenced to
an indeterminate term in the reforma-
tory in November, 1919, for check forgg-
ing, and served little over year
and a half. He has wife and two
small children. Mrs. Gakin had been
receiving mothers pension from the
county until recently.
