Show FIRE IN LOGAN CANYON. For some time past a log cabin, belonging to the Logan Temple, has been allowed to remain on the site of the old wood camp, some ten or eleven miles up Logan Canyon, as a shelter for teamsters and others who wish to camp there, and it has been a great accommodation to many wayfarers, and has been used as a repository for hay, grain, feed, bedding, &c. (etc.), by teamsters and wood haulers. On Thursday, Nov. (November) 4th, a party had camped at the cabin and had made a fire in the fireplace. At about noon of the same day, another man, supposing there was no fire in the fireplace, laid a bundle of hay in it. The slumbering embers soon set fire to the hay, and in a few moments the cabin was ablaze. There were quantities of hay, bedding, &c. (etc.), in it, and these were all consumed. One man lost $35 worth of bedding, and the total loss was from one to two hundred dollars, besides the cabin itself, which will be missed hereafter by teamsters camping in the canyon. |
