Show VOL. 7. SALINA, UTAH, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 19, 1924 NO. 29 Greetings Two. Salma Boies Demon fire has again made his appearance in Salina and during tin past week two residences have been burned to the ground, entailing a loss variously estimated at from $4,000 to At about four thirty last $5,000. afternoon the home of Robert Fiiday Evans, located just across the river west of town, was burned to the ground. The alarm was sent to 'Salina and immediately big crowds flocked to the place. There was no water supply, however, and efforts were abandoned to save the building. The volunteers, though, faced the flames and practically all the furniture and household effects, and many of the doors and windows were saved. How the fire started is not exactly known, but it thought to have been either from a defective flue or crossed electric light wires. Mrs. Evans was the only one at the house at the time the fire broke out The men were in the field nearby bailing hay. When the fiire was discovered the men were hastily notified but on their arrival were unable to get at the blaze, it bieng located in the roof. The loss is laced at about $3,500, with $2,200 insurance. Tuesday afternoon at one oclock the fire fighters were again summoned to old home of John Gribble. The fire broke out near where the stovepipe passes through and soon the entire structure was a mass V)f flames. The volunteers, however, saved a portion of the household effects. Many of the effects were on the uppei floor and all went up in the flames. Mr. Bur had gone to Richfield and his wife was on her way to the home of a neighbor, and when some two blocks away she was told that her home was on fire. The building was owned by John Gribble and the losu will not exceed $500. The Burr loss though smaller, will be keenly felt and with the severe weather now prevailing, will work a hardship on the family. With the cold weather which requires extra fire in the homes, special care should be exercised by all to prevent further fires. Frank Ileibert, Ernest Herbert, Ira Ivie, Alfred Jensen, Milburn Fenn, Deloy Nielson, Otto Kube, Art Prows, Ohas Olsen, II. C. Williams, John Nielson, Archy Bird, Stanley Donigaard, and A. C. Willardson were honor guests at a dancing party at the expense of an opposing team in the rabbit hunt staged this week. And it was a real party, that was given losers. Tripping the light fantastic and relating how it was done and how easy it was to make Lhe kill between dances, made the event one long to be remembered particularly by the winners. Those who acted as hosts were G. G. Larson, captain; G. A. Gates, Art Martin, J. W. Bird, Vivian Burns, Ken Gates, Vem Ivie, Jarvis Martin, Chas. Nordfelt, Glenn Gates, Irvin Hansen and J. B. McMillan. This bunch might be poor marksmen, but they were voted royal entertainers. It had been planned that the losers serve a banquet to the winners, but for some reason this was abandoned. The contest was decidely close and the winners only came out one bunny to the good, the kill being for the Jensen team, 288 as against 287 for the Larson team. Tony Willarson and J. B. McMillan were champions, both outclassing their fellow hunters in point of number killed. An abundance of rabbits were seen and the sport proved highly interesting. by the Fail Id liiii The old saying that 13 isnt unlucky, did not prove so with the Fill- more basketball team when 13 came over the hill and mixed with some of the teams in Sevier and San pete counties. In five games played during the visit the boys from Fill more took five defeats. They wen not in the least discouraged, however and declared that they encountered fine sports at every town they played Ernest Hansen, former coach at tin North Sevier high school, and who is now coach for the high school at Fillmore, had the visiting quint ir charge. Hansen is well known here and his former friends and associates gave him a warm welcome. The first game played by the visitors and in which they met a defeal was played in this city last when the Salina hoopsters' won a hard fought victory by a score of 16 to 15. Saturday Richfield trim med the visitors at Richfield by a score of 15 to 9. At Monroe Fillmore went down to to defeat to the tune of 32 to 12. The game at Gunnison Tuesday gave Gunnison the high score, Fillmore getting 21 points while Gunnison landed 27. The final game for the visitors was staged at Redmond Wednesday evening. Redmond met the bunch with a vim and notwithstanding the fact that the game was a close one, the score being 18 for Redmond and 17 for Fillmore, the visitors made the boys from Redmond dig to put over the winning point. Coach Hansen and his team left for their home town yesterday morning and before leaving they expressed themselves as being highly pleased and praised every team they played with as being real, lively and good sports.
