Bingham Canyon, Utah.-Fire salo
to have originated in the rear OF the
| Tivoli rooming house in the upper
part of lower Bingham, wiped out q
residential and business district 1of
a distance Of approximately 100 yards
and threatened the entire city caus'
ing damage estimated at $4,000
More than $50 persons are home
less as a result of the blaze.
In combating the flames as they
spread down the canyon c. j. Carl
son, chief of fire station No. l, oil
the Bingham volunteer fire depart
ment, was severely burned on the
face and hands.
Wilfred Carlson, former UNIVERSE
ty of Utah athlete, was seriously in
jured when he was struck on the back
by a trunk hurled from the second
story of a burning building.
The buildings destroyed by the fire
include the Belmont hotel, the Sous
sci store, Tivoli rooming house, Eur
ope pool hall and rooming house, the
Standish precipitating plant, a long
line of garages, the dwelling Of John
Venetti and approximately sixteen
two story shacks. Insurance Of ap-
proximately $4,000 covers the dam
aged area, according to insurance
agents and property owners.
The fire was discovered by Eli
Benson, an employee of the Utah Cop
per company, on his way to work. He
said he noticed smoke issuing from
the rear of the Tivoli rooming house
and ran to the nearest alarm sta
ton and sounded the fire alarm. 1t
is the opinion of those near the orr
gin of the fire that it was caused by
cigarette igniting debris in the
rear of the TivOli.
Famed by an early morning wind,
the flames spread rapidly, soon en-
veloping the upper portion of lower
Bingham. Before the two contingents
of the Bingham volunteer fire de
partment arrived, the blaze had
spread to the Belmont hotel on the
right Of the Tivoli, and the precipi
tating plant, owned by Former State
Senator H. n Standish, on the left.
Hampered by refugees, who ran
from the burning dwellings in negli' |
gee, the fire fighters began playing |
the water on the fire as it swept down |
the canyon. Hundreds of persons. |
clad only in nocturnal apparel, were |
1renched as they attempted to recov
ar some OF their property in the blaze.
The fire rapidly gnawed its way
through the frame structures on the
main canyon road and started on the
two rows of houses that lined the
owned respectively by
Florendo Bedont and the Scussell
estate.

of the Stearns County fair should at
tend the annual meeting of the Agri-

the Community Club rooms this
Thursday evening at 7:30.
After several years of gloom the
clouds are breaking away and with
continued good management the as
sociation is in fair way of getting
its financial feet on solid ground
again in a year or two.
The Herald understands that Sec
retary Hillerud and Treasurer Fred
Fischer have prepared complete de-
tailed reports of the financial trans
actions of the fair for the past year.
Not for years were the weather
conditions for successful fair as
unfavorable as they were in 1925.
The fair was far and beyond anything
ever attempted in Stearns county and

help. His residence is near the gar
age and his wife came Immediately
to his aid and threw blanket around
him and choked the flames, but not
until nearly all his clothing had been
burned off his body.
After being taken to his home and
a physician summoned, it was found
that he had been badly burned about
his body and his condition declined
rapidly until death came Monday
night.
The little girl suffered some burns
on one arm but they are not serious.
The fire did no damage in the gar
age. 3

Firemen's 4th Annual
Ball Thanksgiving Night
Event Will Be Held in Junior High
School Auditorium-Tickets
Expected to Go Fast

The Volunteer Fire Department of
Sank Centre have arrangements for
their forty-irst annual ball to be
held at the Junior High School Aud
itorium Thanksgiving night, Novem-
Der 26, 1925, about complete.
With one or two exceptions the
Firemen have held their annual ball
on Thanksgiving night each year
and the ticket sales have always been
very good, and this year it is ex-
pected that they will sell faster than
ever before.
The local organization is continu-
ally protecting the property in this
city without reward from the city,
and what money is made from the
annual dance goes into a benefit
fund and at Christmas each fireman
receives porporationate amount as
a Christmas gift. 1t was learned at
the last State Firemen's Convention
that Sauk Centre was the only city
of its size in the state who did not
pay it's volunteer firemen, so the least
any citizen should do is to buy at
least one ticket whether he dances
or not. -. '7.t,sNss saFt
Members of the department will be,
selling tickets the early part of next
week. If you are not called upon to
purchase a ticket, hunt up some
member of the department and pur-
chase one or as many tickets you can
and help the good work along.
Following are the committees in
charge of the annual ball this year:
JOS. Kusba and B. F. Dubois, Music
E. A. Richards, Thomas R. Clough
and ]. B. Mondloch, floor managers
Verne Berggreen and Nolan Gilbert
son, decorations; Chief Geo. Fish,

Underwood Sent to Saltwater
On Old Swindling Charge
Man Arrested in Sauk Centre fo,
Robbery at Melrose, Turned Over
to Hennepin County Officials

In it's write-up of the sentencing of
Muriel Turner to 30-day county
Jail sentence after entering a plea
of guilty to statutory charge, the
Herald stated that V. Underwood
who was arrested in Sauk Centre
with the young woman, charged with
burglarizing Loesbrock's store at
Melrose, asked for a continuance of a
week to decide whether or not he
would enter a plea of guilty to lar
ceny in the third degree. Thursday of
last week it developed that the man
would be sent to Saltwater without
furher hearing.
Underwood was convicted in Hen
nepin county on the charge of swim
ding, early in January of this year
and sentenced to the state peniten-
tiary, it was learned. Because the
swindle had only involved $5, his
indeterminate sentence was suspend
ed.
Hennepin county authorities were
notified of the Stearns affair, and
County Attorney J. J.. Quigley re-
ceived request Tuesday to send the
man to Minneapolis. His suspension
has been rescinded, and Underwood
will be sent to Saltwater to begin
serving his sentence at the peniten-
tary. The Stearns county charge of
third degree burglary against Under
wood will not be dropped, and the
man may have to face that charge
when he completes his present sent
ence.
Later-The sheriff of Hennepin
county came to St. Cloud for Under
wood Tuesday and Wednesday he en-
tered Saltwater to serve two-year
term on conviction from >Hennepin
county.

clave ever held in America-the 7th

President has ever made a special

State Must Condemn Land
Needed for Highway Project
Village of Avon May Prevent Com
pletion of Grading No. 3 This
Year-Mr. Babcock Away

With state highway construction
crews on Highway number three
battling to complete two projects un-
der way between st. Cloud and Sank
Centre before the first heavy snow
fall that bad detours may be elimi-
mated through the winter months,
complications are arising that may
prevent the elimination of all de-
tours within the limited time yet re-
naming.
If the weather continues fair there
is an even chance that the actual
construction work between st.
Joseph and Albany may be COM
pleted. Necessary bridges are finish
ed and the grading work has been
rushed at record breaking speed.
But litigation impends. just be-
fore leaving for South America
Commissioner Babcock inspected the
highway route through the village
of Avon at the request of villagers
who requested that the paved high
way be routed along the main street
of that village. The commission
ruled that such routing would en-
tail a dangerous cure and ordered
that an original survey with the
pavement running along side the
village be followed.
A petition is being circulated now
to ask to reconsider his order
and the owners of land along the
highway right-of-way have decided to
force the state to condemn the right
of-way for three quarters of mile
,ff -
which the villagers desire. The
