Fire DESTROYS
Milo Miller
Home Sunday

The Milo Miller home on 10th
Street between California and Main
Avenues was destroyed Sunday
night by fire of unknown origin.
The blaze was first discovered
about 7:20 by neighbors who turned
IN the alarm to the fire department
Mr. and Mrs. Miller were absent
from home at the time, and the
IRE had made such Roadway before
being discovered that the frame
building was practically ruined be-
fore the fire company could arrive
and control the blaze.
Later in the night between 300
and $3.50 a. m. the wind whipped a
spark or two remaining from the
early fire, and the building was a
gain entirely ablaze before it was
discovered. The fire department
hurried to the scene and again put
out the fire. The two fires entirely
Quilted the building, destroying the
roof and apparently leaving moth
ing but shell of the walls.
One section of the fire company
was called about 8:45 D. m. to make
a run to the Christie home on Utah
Ave, where they put out a chin
ney fire. Following this run the
men returned to continue work at
the Miller residence.
The fire department is apprecia-
tive of the thoughtfulness extended
10 them Sunday evening and night
Following the first fire at the Miller
home, Mrs. Norman Risley served
the tired men coffee when they
were able to leave their work. Fol-
lowing the outbreak Of the fire dur
ng the night, Mrs. Gene Blussom
who lives across the street from the
Miller property, outside the city
limits, also made hot coffee and
served it to the wearied men. These
thoughtful treats are very unusual
,ut highly appreciated breaks, say
he boys.
A bad fire occurred about four
ears ago at the same house, which
t that time was the Kemmis home.

A Slide Mon. Mite
On Flower Creek

The high ridge across from the
Toad Miller cabin on Flower
creek slid off into the creek Mon
day evening damming its waters and
sending them out over the road
which extends up the canyon to the
VIM. Shawl home about 200 yards
above the Miller cabin. The water
IS also at the door of the latter
cabin.
Mr. Shawl was awakened by the
roar of the avalanche, which was
followed a few seconds later by a
second slide. The debris of clay and
trees was hurled across the creek
almost to the Miller cabin which
was occupied by the Robert Wilkes
family.
The slide occurred about mile
above the Montana State Power
Co. S power house. More slides will
probably occur at this point during
the next month or so.
