AVERTED AT WAGNER
Quick Action with Interior Fire Hose
Prevents Serious Conflagration
Walls of Room Gutted
From Monday's Dally.
A serious conflagration was nar
rowly averted this morning at about
8:30 when a blaze originating in the
basement of the Wagner hotel build
ing immediately in the rear of the
Wagner barber shop was subdued by
i j, o . , . . . , ,
i ne aiu oi a nre nose mat nas uung
suspended from the wall in the hotel
office for many years without ever
being used. Its time came this morn-
ing. however, to be of service.
The blaze was discovered by Rube
Erehart as it was leaping up the
practically unused stairway leading
from the rear of the barber shop to
the basement and the door opening
thereto was unlocked by Mr. Lewis,
who with Hoy Mayfield unreeled
the firehose suspended from the wall
in the Wagner and plied a. steady
stream of water upon the flame.
When discovered the fire had
gutted the walls of the small room
in which it was confined, as well as
burned away the ceiling Joists sup
porting the floor of one of the sec
ond story rooms in the hotel and bid
fair to continue its work of destruc
tion, with only the sky as its limit.
During the excitement an unsuc
cessful attempt was made to turn in
a tire alarm, but just at the time. Dr.
Sandin. fire chief came along and took
accounts for the fact that no general j
alarm was somided.- -- - - -
A few minor articles belonging'to
the barbers and hanging in the
closet were destroyed and the wall
paper in that room was spattered
badly, which includes the sum total
of damage sustained by the barber
shop.
The damage to the interior of the
room in which the fire was largely
confined, however, is complete, and
will require much repair.
Mr. Ric'hey. owner of the building,
Landlord Wagner and the barbers
are congratulating themselves on the
discovery of the blaze before it had
gained greater headway and the ac
cessibility of the interior fire hose,
which. more than any one other
thing, is responsible for the compara
tively small loss.
Fire Chief Sandin attributed the
blaze to an unprotected light wire
leading from a switch at the door to
an outlet in the basement.
SUFFERS FRACTURE
OF HIS RIGHT ARM
Alfred Edgerton Victim of a Serious
Accident while Working at
the High School.
Alf Edgerton is wearing his right
arm wrapped in splints as the result
of an encounter received Saturday
afternoon from the head of a heavy
sledge hammer and as the result of
which accident the right forearm. was
badly fractured.
Mr. Edgerton and Jess Green w-ere
engaged in chipping off a concrete
foundation a.t the high school and
while at this work Mr. Edgerton was
handling the chisel and Jess was
working the sledge. All went nice
ly for several hours but as they were
driving away the head flew off of the
handle and the large, heavy sledge
struck Mr. Edgerton on the arm,
causing a severe fracture.
The injured man was hurried to
the office of a surgeon where the in
jured arm w.as set but it will be
some time before he is able to use
it and the injury proved one that is
certainly very annoying to the in
jured man and will require his los
ing some sis weeks of valuable time
at least.

BIBLE CLASSES
HOLD BANQUET
SENIOR LADIES CLASS BANQUETS
MEMBERS OF MEN'S SENIOR
BIBLE CLASS
Saturday evening the parlors of the
Methodist church was the scene of a
very enjoyable gathering when the
members of the senior ladies' bible
class entertained the members of the
men's senior class at a very pleasant
banquet.
The parlors of the church had been
beautified by a decorative scheme of
red and green and in which the
bright tinted autumn leaves found a
place in the attractive color scheme.
The banquet tables were decorated
with the bright red berries of the
bittersweet intermingled with the
green foliage and over this scene the
bright red and green candles cast
their softening glow, making it a
spot of the greatest beauty.
The social workers, an organiza
tion of the younger women of the
church. had charge of the banquet
and the menu was one that certainly
! made a great impression upon the
. . e 1. . 9 1. I , ..
seventy-four members of the ban
queting party by its delicious viands
and the artistic and clever manner In
which the serving was carried out
by the laddies.
The banquet was presided over by
Msr. E. H. Wescott as toastmistress
and her clever and pleasing intro
duction of the different toasts was
much enjoyed by all of the party.
Mrs. O. O. Schwenneker. teacher
of the ladies class, made the opening
address on the toast list and in which
she extended the welcome of the eve
ning to the members of the gentle
men's class and in turn the ladies
were very highly complemented on
the very happy occasion by the
speakers who followed from the mem
bers of the men's bible class.
Don C. York took as the subject of
his toast. "Silver Threads Among the
Gold." and spoke briefly of the par
ticipation of the older people in the
active church work and at the con
clusion of his few remarks sang very
effectively the beautiful old song
from whose title he had taken the
SULJ
i Throughout the banquet the raem
Ibers of the party enjoyed the singing
of the old songs as well as the pop
ular melodies of the day and which
made a novel and entertaining fea
ture of the evening.
"I'll Say She Does" was the topic
on which M. H. Cotton spoke briefly
and told of woman's work in all
churches of the nation and paid the
women of the church a well deserved
tribute.
Mrs. II. II. Cotton read a very
clever lit le poem in which the names
of all the members of the party were
giv(.n and Wliich was received with
.marked approval by all of the ban-
queteers.
Mr. T. W. Glenn gave a special
musical selection. "Comin Through
the Rye." in his usual pleasing man
ner and this selection was heartily
received by the auditors.
"I Want to Know My King", was
the subject of the address of Attor
ney A. Li. Tidd, teacher of the men's
classs, and preceding the address.
Miss Clara Mae Morgan sang the
hymn of this title and from which
the speaker took his remarks on the
need of the men and women to take
part in the church work to come to a
fuller realization of the teachings of
their King.
Hon. H. n. Windham, one of the
oldest members of the Methodist
church in this city and who has.
during residence here from territor
ial days, been closely identified with
the active church work, chose as his
subject, "Memories." avid his address
took back over the past half century
the minds of his auditors to the time
of the establishment of the church
here and among the interesting stor
ies of the early church was that of
the first organ that had been used in
the church and which had been the
first in the city. This organ was in
stalled in the church and the first
person to play the instrument was
Conrad Schlater. one of the pioneers
of the county, and who. while of an
other religious faith, had been pre
vailed upon as he was a gifted mu
sician, to play the organ at the
church. This organ now is stored
in the basement of the church en
joying a rest after many years of
hard service in assisting in the cause
of the church.
The last speaker of the evening
was Rev. A. V. Hunter, who spoke on
the subject. "The Restless Sea" and
gave a very beautiful and inspira
tional address. Rev. Hunter and Mr.
and Mrs. Oliver Bimson of Oakland.
Neb., who are guests at the Hunter
home closed the program with a very
enjoyable vocal trio.
The close of the program and the
pronouncing of the benediction
brought to the close one of the most
enjoyable church gatherings that the
Methodists have enjoyed for many
months.

BACK FROM UPPER
SALT GREEK REGION
M.
S. Briggs. Who Recently Visited
the Head Waters, Returns and
Relates Experience.
Yes. we are home again, and right
glad of it at that. We were at the
head waters of Salt Creek and there
had many startling experiences.
When the vote-s of the recent elec
tion were being counted, we became
lost in the fog of ballots and in an
endeavor to get out of the deluge
headed our bark up stream and found
when it became light enough the fol
lowing morning, that we had "gone
up Salt Creek." We immediately
telephoned our congratulations to our
competitor for the position which we
were seeking. We then turned our
attention somewhat to the surround
ing vicinity and found a wonderful
old wooden building bearing a sign.
"Dan Boone Eating House." Being
hungry, we thought we would try a
bite, and when the breakfast had
been served we noticed it was all in
one large bowl and we were invited
to help ourselves, which we did and
found the contents a rather meaty
substance, and 'quietly asked what
it was composed of, and were told it
was crow. It did not taste very good,
but we had to eat it or go without
anything. We thought we would
take a bit of pie to relieve the taste
that this dish left in our mouths, and
asked if it was served there. We
were informed that it might be had
at the republican counter. Just 901
votes to the right. That informa
tion seemed to hold us for a while.
We went out of the restaurant and
saw sitting on a log a row of men,
many of this county, and some of na
tional importance, each with a shin
gle and a bit of charcoal figuring
Just how it happened.
Just then we heard and felt some
thing like the tremor of an earth
quake, and saw the whole hillside
begin to quiver and then quietly slide
down filling the creek and the whole
valley. Feirtunate, indeed, were we
that we were able to make our get
away before we were covered in ob
livion. I am wishing to extend to the many
friends who so loyally supported me
in this recent election, though I had
to make this trip, saying I cannot
bo iiisensable to their friendship and
lovalty.
