TWO DIE IN
FIRE TRAGEDY
' NEAR ANGORA
MR. AND MRS. R. L. GORIN ARE
THOUGHT TO HAVE PERISHED.
Physicians Decide Remains of Two
Bodies in Ruins Others Have
Different Theories.
A fire, discovered alwut 4 a. m.
Wednesday, destroyed a portion of the
farm home of Mr. and Mrs. R. L.
Gorin, living seven miles southeast of
Angora. The remains of what Bridge
port physicians believe to he two per
jsons were found on a bed, and these
re believed to be Mr. and Mrs. Gorin,
although the bodies were charred be
yond recognition.
When the fire was discovered, the
alarm spread and neighbors gathered
to fight the flames. At the time, it
vas believed that both Mr. and Mrs,
Gorin were in Scottsblulf, the couple1
having indicated that they were going
to that city. Neither of them had
oeen seen in Angora for a few daysjwas no demonstration while the first
iirior to the fire, and it was known
that a trip was contemplated. During
the blaze, some of the spectators
thought they discerned a body lying
on the bed, but it was not until the
ruins were searched that the suspicions '
vere confirmed, inquiry developed
that the Gorins were not in Scotts-
Wuir.
The sheriff and county attorney at'
Bridgeport were called, at 8 o'clock efforts will be rewarded anyway, 'ire
Wednesday morning, and at 4:30 they j convention passed a resolution thank
arrived and began their investigations ing thi:s city for its invitation.
Uhey searched the ruins, recovered all
poi-t.ons of the body or bodies obtain
able, and these were taken to Bridge
port tor examination by physicians,
l ate last night word was received at
Antrora that the physicians had de
cided, after an examination, that the
remains included portions of two
bodies.
The Gorins had been married for
ubout a year, both of them having
been married previously. Mrs.' Gorin
had lived in and near Angora for a
number of years, and was well known.
Mr. Goiin came from Scottsblulf at the
lime of the marriage. Mrs. Gorin is
survived by a son and daughter and
five brothers. It is reported that Mr.
Gorin has a son. a daughter and aged
lather living, but no relatives had been
located up to last night. The couple
were around forty years of age.
Suspicion Is Aroused

ore several suspicious circumstances.
It is said that a .32 rine was louna
in the bed room, lying near the bed. '
There was a cartridge in the rifle that
had been fired, and it bore the marks
of a firing pin, thus showing that it
had not been exploded by the heat.
The Bridgeport otficials, it is said,
lean toward the theory that a crime
vas committed.
The house was not burned to the
ground. It is a two-story structure
and the fire, which was reported to
have started from the kitchen range,
apparently originated in the bedroom.
The kitchen is still standing, and is
not materially damaged by the fire.
The bedroom portion was destroyed by
the flames, however, and the floor had
fallen in. carrying the bed with it.
According to the Alliance man, a
neighbor, Mr. Brown, had called at
the Gorin home Tuesday evening.
While he did not see either Mr. or
Mrs. Gorin, he thought he heard foot
steps inside the house. A smeu 01
smoke was coming from the base
ment, but he did not stop to investi

Mrs. Gorin were at the farm. Wil

GADDIS TALKS ON
ROAD BUILDING IN
THIS TERRITORY
FAVORS BUILDING OF ROAD TO
SCOTTSBLl'FF. I
Surveying Crew Now Working on
Alliance-Heniingford Road
Potash Highway Next.
A. M. Gaddis of Scottsbluff, division
engineer of the staet highway depart
ment, was in Alliance Thursday,
spending his time with the county
commissioners and the chamber of
commeiee, on matters relative to roads
in this territory. Mr. Gaddis is much
pleased to learn of CTns increased ac
tivity in interest in the building of
good roads in this part of western
,eurasiui and particularly to note the
constructive program being adopted,
under direction of the cnamber of
commerce. ' 1
At the present time a surveying
crew is surveying the state road irom
rtii.ante to iitiiiingtord and on to the
Dawes county line, via Lawn church.
This crew will be bu.y on tnat project
lor probably thirty days, alter which
he stated tiiey will be immediately put
to work surveying the "missing l.nk"
of the Potash highway between Lake
side anil Ashby, in accordance with
the request ol the chamber of com
merce. '
Mr. Gaddis would also like to see a
state road uesignatcd between Alliance
and Seottsbiuti and behoves that this
would receive the upp.oval of the state
dcpaitioent. he Mated that he was
pleased to learn of the solution of the
"missing link' on the North Star high
way between Alliance and bi'Kigc-j.oit
oy a temporary connect. ng road be
tween idornll and Box Butte counties'.
An encouraging statement by Mr.
Gaddis, while in Alliance, was to the
eil'cct that the policy of the depart
ment in surveying a route ior the
Potash highway uirough the sandhills
between Lakeside and Ashby will be
to follow "the lines of least resistance" j
lather than to adhere 100 closely to a
line along the railroad. This will
make the problem of constructing a
temporary payable road much easier
than if the line followed closely to the
railroad, through some places which
are so sandy that they could not be
made passable without much expense.,
It will allow volunteer ' and county
work to be done as soon as the route ,
is designated by the engineers.
Potash Highway in Good Shape.
Walter Newberg, of Ardmore, S. D.,
traveling representative ot the Au.
tine company of Grand Island, arrived
in Alliance ihursday fiom Grand Is
land, making the trip by auto lrom
the latter point by the Potash high
way. He called at the office of the
chamber of commerce in company with
Director Lee Moore to give up-to-date
information on the condition of the
Potash highway through the sandhills.
Mr. Newberg stated that the state
aid road from Grand Island to An
sel mo is in excellent shape, well
graded, and in most places like a
boulevard. From Anselmo west
through the sandhills he experienced
some difficulty, chiefly from lack of
proper marking of the highway, rather
than from impassible places. He
stated that he only "got stuck" at one
place and that was on the main street
01 a small town. He believes that
the Potash hiirhway when completed
will be one of the most traveled and,
popular highways in the .west, due
larirelv to the fact that the tourist
will save from 200 to 300 miles travel
ing to the Black Hills and Yellow.-tone
park.

was placed under arrest and taken to
the city jail. A pint bottle containing
hooch was found in his po.-.session.
This, according to the officers, is the
ranke.4. smelling booze that has been
taken so far.
Bond was set at $1,000 which was
furnished. This is double the amount
that has been set for past offenders,
tut this is due to a new ruling of the
department.
According to Night Policeman Stil
v.ill, who searched King's cell at the
jail, a recently emptied bottle of hooch
and a four foot iron bar was found in
King's cell. Just how he could get
these is beyond the officers.
King's case, with the other booze
cases will come up early in Septem

he wired to the Columbus sheriff ask-'tJe

Postoffice employes point out that
not only the postoffice force, but the
patrons will benefit alike if the public
will co-operate with them in exedit

I Following is a list of the hours at

that patrons get their letters over at

Bishop Stuntz to
Dedicate the M. E.
Church August 27
Bishop Homer C. Stuntz of Omaha,
bishop of the Omaha area of the M.
E. church, which includes Iowa and.
Nebraska, was in the city two hours
between trains last Monday, and met
with the building committee of the
local Methodist church at an informal
luncheon at the Alliance hotel. He
was on his way to Scottsbluff to pre
side at the Alliance district confer
ence of the church.
The bishop was particularly inter
ested in the new Methodist church
which is nearing completion. When he
was here more than a year ago, he
presided at a meeting when is. wa.3
voted to adopt the present building
plan to include the lare g nnisiiiin,
ro having been instrumental in the
adoption of the final plan, he was anx
ious to see what the actual building
looked like. He expressed hi.Tise'f na
being very well pleased with t'ie ' ran.
tiful appearance of the structure.
Some of his remarks were as .'-d'ows:
"You have a beautiful church. Tho
workmanship is perfect; it cjlj not
be better. 1 ou have every conven
ience for a modern church. Yoa were
wi.-e in selecting such elegant mite rial
for the exterior. Three taints i-si.e-
cially please me. You have no high
dome to spoil the acoustic properties;
the bunding is arranged so tl.at every
foot of it can be used, and I espe
cially congratulate you bee i .use you
have no cheap figures in the window a."
The committee asked Bishop SiJiiti
for a date for the dedication i t the
church, and he offered Sunday, Au
gust 27, w hich was promptly accepted.
As the annual conference of the Meth
odist church meets in Alliance the fol
lowing Wednesday, August 30, he will
remain here over the entire week anil
the next Sunday. This conference la
known as the Northwest Nebraska and
is composed of the Alliance and Long
Pine districts, about fifty churches in
all. This conference was held in Al
liance eight years ago when Bishop
Henderson presided. At this time, the
appointments of preachers to various
charges are made.
