Why sulk at home during the hot
weather, when you can fix up little
lunch, take the kiddies, and visit the
South Park in Bridger, where you will
find all kinds of tables, hot and cold
water, green grass, shade trees and a
delightful breeze at all hours of the
day. This beats travelling for 60 miles
to some mountain resort where you
find nothing but deer flies and mosqui-
toes. Try it some day and be con-
WINGED.

Bridger and community were shock
ed Sunday evening when the news was
brought to town that Joe Clifford had
died at his residence south of town.
1t seems that he had spent the evening
in town and on returning home seated
himself in a chair and while talking
to some of his family suddenly
stretched hisIarms in the air and fell
over and expired before anyone could
reach him. DR.. Midget was immed-
lately called and on his arrival pro-
nounced him dead. The supposition
is that he died of heartfailure. Mr..
Clifford had just returned from a trip
to Idaho and Utah a few days before
accompanied by his wife, and altho his
health has been impaired for the past
year and he has been taking treat
ments for other ailments his condition
was not considered dangerous. Bran
don Clifford was called and arrived
from Elk Basin Monday morning, and
another son Guy who is on a pleasure
trip by auto somewhere in the park or
Idaho has not been reached as yet with
the news of his fathers death. At pres
ent funeral arrangements have not
been concluded, but interment will
probably be made in the Bridger Gem
etery Wednesday afternoon, the SER
mon being preached in the Methodist
church here, and will be conducted by
some L. D. S. ministers from Cowley,
as he was a member of this church.
The entire community extend their
most heartfelt condolences to the
stricken family.

C. l.. Taylor was an eyewitness of
the start of the fire. A vivid flash of
lightning in the heavy electrical storm
which accompanied the rain was fol-
lowed by spirals of smoke from the
roof of one of the tanks.
ROARING INFERNO.
"Then the black smoke came belch.
ing out of the great earthen reservoir
in the heart of the Standard Oil Com
pany of California's tank farm" he
said.
FLAMES flickered and flashed over
the burning roof and the oil blaze had
soon made a roaring inferno"
Large numbers of spectators crowded
the flooded highways leading to the
farm. despite the continued rain. The
flames and smoke were visible for miles
around.

WRECKS
NEGRO HOMES

FORT WORTH, April 3O.-Go,--
Two more negro houses were bombed
on the southeast side here early today.
The blasts, which have occurred at
intervals for many months, have been
laid by the police to attempts by
white residents to discourage negroes
from moving into the section.
No one was hurt by either ey-
plosion, which took place under the
respective porches of Dan Hill and Fl.
Ford. Wrappings from the explosive
led police to believe that two sticks
of dynamite were used in each in
stance. Hill previously had found two
uncxploded sticks of dynamite under
his porch. They had failed to de
tomato after the fuses had been lit.

California Tank.

BAKERSFIELD, Cal. April 60
R-Hampered BE- storm which
washed out entertainments and covered
highways, hundreds of workmen TO-
day were battling a fire in 100000
barrel reservoir of crude oil in West
Kern river storage farm of the Stand
ard Oil Company of California, five
miles northwest OF here.
The fire was started last night by
lightning, which ignited the lake of
oil, although deluge Of rain of al
most cloudburst proportions inundated
the plains and highways surrounding
the storage farm.
LOW GRAVITY OIL.
The burning lake of oil was in the
center of a field of underground res
eryoirs, each with capacity of
500. 700 barrels. As many of the con-
tanners were not full, it was estimated
6,O0O, 600 barrels Of low gravity oil
were in storage on the farm. Two
miles away, on the main storage field
of the district. there are 40 such lakes
of oil. each five acres in extent and
covered with wood and asphalt roofs.
The burning oil was of low gravity
and an explosion was not expected, but
workmen attempted to throw up EN-
bankments TO prevent the spread of
the flaming liquid when it boils over.
The boil-over was expected some time
early today, unless efforts to lower the
oil level by draining it to other I'M
ignited reservoirs nearby are success
