BUSINESS AS USUAL
Many Volunteers Help to

Business as usual is the slogan
Of the Imperial Valley Press today,
following a near disaster yesterday,
when the Freeman building, at the
corner Of State and Sixth street, in
which the Press is housed, caught
fire Shortly after O'Clock.
The fire was confined to the space
between the ceiling Of the Press
room and the floor Of the rooms
above, formerly occupied by the Elks
lodge, but at present vacant.
w. II. Howard, circulation man.
ager of the Press, was in the office
AT the time and noticed smoke pour
ting out from a crevice in the cell
ing, His investigation showed q
brisk fire in progress and he ran
next door to fire headquarters to
give the alarm.
Grabs Extinguisher
In the meantime A. A. TOwle of
the telephone company, who was
passing by, ran to the rear of the
Press office and grabbing fire ex
tinguisher, rushed upstairs and per-
formed good work until the con-
tents of the extinguisher gave out.
By that time the fire had spread
over a considerable area, and when
firemen arrived they were forced
to use hydrant stream to get 1T
out
Most of the damage to the Press
was caused by water. which dam
aged several of the large rolls of
newsprint paper and some of the
equipment. The floor of the bus
mess office and the editorial room
was covered with rubbish where
the ceiling gave way depositing a
whole section of soaked plast-
er over everything.
Volunteer Helpers
Volunteers aided the firemen in
moving office equipment and furni-
ture out of the way. Towle moved
the old files of the Press out of the
way so they would not be ruined by
the water.
Investigation bv Chief Ferguson
this morning and after the fire yes
terdav. was unable tn determine the
cause of the blaze. thouoh II is be-
loved it was started by defective
wirino between the second floor and

DESERT MYSTERY
spFIIS WORK FOR
COUNTY CORONER

Bert Lemons, undertaken bv
trade county coroner by appoint
ment. and amateur miner bv in.
e'ination, did little prospecting
Yesterday but not for gold, silver
or precious metals.
What Bert was after was the so
lntion of another one of those queer
desert deaths that hob up every now
md then in Imperial county.
Someone told the sheriff's office
of a mysterious grave that had
heen located ont near Covote Wells,
and the information was passed on
to the coroner. Bert was all ready
to go out to the golf links to see
Frank Richmond make his debut in
knickerbockers and loud stockings,
but the call of the duty knocked
his plans galley west.
Instead Of warching Frank tie
'iNiSNii up III MINUS WITH n1DIlck
and mashie, Bert armed himself
with pick. and shovel and hied forth
to the desert. Arriving at the ap-
pointed spot he began to dig ex.
pecting every shovelfull of earth
would uncover a grinning skeleton,
the only remains Of some desert
tragedy.
After getting down almost as far
rs China, and sporting blisters on
his hands and pain in his back,
Bert gave it up as q bad Job and
came back to town. There was
nothing to the yarn except little
Inconvenience for tho coroner. all
which comes in the line of duty.
Today he said that the next time
anyone gets the 'sdesert mystery
idea, he hopes it is on a week day
and not on his day off.
