! WHEN FLAMES
BURST OUT
5000 Temporarily Homeless;
Property Damage Likely
!! To Run S5,000,000

NEW YORK, July IA
I.N.S.). - A disastrous fire
which caused probably 5,OOO,-
600 property damage today
left the heart of Coney Island,
one of the country's most
famous summer Fairgrounds,
a mass of charred and smolder-
ing ruins.
Five thousand persons were
temporarily made homeless, while
many lost money, jewelry and
clothing in the fire which for
three hours ragged in lighthouses,
private dwellings, shops and on
the boardwalk.
Hundreds Suffer Burns
Hundreds of men, women and
children were treated at emer-
gency stations in the amusement
resort or at nearby hospitals for
burns or injuries suffered when
the first burst of flames created
a panic among the 100000 per-
sons gathered on the beach.
City authorities made plans to-
day to rush an appropriation
through the board of estimate to
permit immediate work of recon
structing the devasted section.
About 1000 feet of the famous
boardwalk were burned with only
the twisted steel support left.
Many bungalows were among the
burned buildings.
Starts in Rubbish Heap
The fire started in a pile Of
rubbish under the boardwalk.
Whipped by a strong breeze, the
fire spread to the underplanking
of the boardwalk and then at
tackled dwellings.
A borough call for fire appa-
ratus brought out the full strength
of the city's fire department,
which battled the flames four
hours before they were under
control.
Many hundreds of bathers,
their clothes and money de-
stroyed in the bath houses, were
carried free to their homes on
subways or in busSes.
Special cars on subway trains
were reserved for the bathing
suit army" which for hours kept
filing into the various stations.

CLEARED

TALLAHASSEE, Fla, July
IA QN.S.).-Gov. Doyle E.
Carlton announced today he
would refuse the request of the
Duval county grand jury for
the dismissal of Capt. John F.
Baker, who was nominally in
charge of the prison camp
where Arthur Maillefert, 49,
year-old New Jersey boy, died
while being tortured" by
guards.
The Duval county grand jury,
after indicting two guards on q
first degree murder charge for

denounced Captain Bakers ad'
ministration of the prison camp.
The grand jury demanded his dis
missal from the States prison

received the grand jury's report,
but, when he did so, would refuse
to fire" Baker. Said the gov
ernor:
Captain Baker was on vaca-

fret died. He was not on the

for what happened at the camp.
He has a good record as q
prison camp captain and as q
manager of men. 1 see no
reason for diSmissing him."

the guards indicted for firSt-de-
gree murder, could no longer
work for the State. He denied re-
ports that Courson would be given
some other duties"

Babcock Asks for Bids
On IS New Jobs
Opening Set for July 10, -Four Test
Projects Included In List of
improvements

Bids have been asked for by Com
missioner c. M. Babcock on a fur
ther list of highway Improvement
projects, four of which are to test
out a new type of bituminous sur
faced highway, a bulletin of the
State Highway department reports.
Referring to tht test projects, the
highway bulletin states that, ordi-
narily, so-called "oiled' 'or "tarred"
roads are made by a graveled road
being given treatment that forms
thin coating on the road surface.
Experience with the highways prev
iously treated and given a bitumin-
Gus mat" as it is called, is caus-
ing officials Of the highway depart
ment to be of the opinion that a
marked degree of Improvement can
be made by increasing the thick
ness or depth of the mat. To &C
complish this, and to insure uni
formity, the gravel will be treated
at a mixing plant before being
spread upon the roadway.
Four sections of highway will be
located in different parts of the
state so as to get the benefit of
tests under varying soil and traffic
conditions, the bulletin states.
The projects upon which bids
have been asked, to be opened July
10, include the four of bituminous
treatment for the test purposes,
grading, 10 shouldering, Is gravel
ing, and 4 bridge jobs, and are list
ed as follows:
Plant Mix Bituminous Pavement

on the bank of the Ashley; Mr..
Cook on the south shore of
Fairy Lake; Mr.. Ashley located
further down on Ashley creek
over what is now the Stearns
County line. After Mr.. Ashley
moved away Mr.. Cook moved
into his house and lived there
till the time of the Indian out
break.
Speaking about beauty the
intention of the Kandota Town
site Company was to dam up
the Ashley to the height of
some thing like a 20 or 80 foot
head about where the Great
Northern "K" line crosses this
stream; thus covering all these
wet sloughs above the proposed
dam, leaving a few wooded
islands in the lake so formed
and a few points sticking out
into this lake and this height
would have brought the water
up high enough to have formed
a sandy beach all around this
lake and connecting with Fairy
Lake, or just leave a narrow
ridge between the two.
Some portion of the fiat on
the west side of the river was
plated and this was to have
been the townsite.
The Whitefield house was a
stopping place on the st. Cloud
Pembina road for many years,
being for more or less of the
time the only one of the kind
between New Munich and
Holmes City.
Kandota post office was es-
tablished in this house in 1858
and remained till the Indian
outbreak.
The name Kandota is from
the Indian name of Fairy
Lake and the Ashley creek
which evidently once ran thru
Fairy Lake. When white set
tiers first came here it appear
ed as if it had not been so
very long before that the water
had broken through the bank
south of the above named rail-
road bridge thus leaving the
present meadows and sloughs
dry and forming new outlet
for the creek. According to a
egend told by the Indians there
once was a battle fought near
this lake between the Chippewa
and Sioux Indians. This is very
likely when we remember that
for a great length of time the
Sank River was the boundary
line between Chippewa and
Sioux territory. The boundary
was fixed here by a treaty at
Fort Smelling in 1926. 1t must
have been there before, as the
famous Chippewa, Chief Hole
in-the-Day, at the treaty of
Fon du Lac in 1887 when the
land east of the Sank river was
coded to the United States said:
This land is mine; my father
took it from the Sioux" His
father was at that time very
old so it must have been long
before 1925. Possibly this was
the battle above referred to
where he took the land up to
the river, for tradition has it
that the Sioux chief seeing that
he was beat cried out Kan
dotah." Let us quit, or let us
rest" and from that time on the
lake was called Kan-do-tah.
