Redd end family, was destroyed by fire Sunday night, and aside from a small part of furnishings, the home and the contents were a complete loss, and no insurance on the personal property, so far as may be found, but the assumption is that the residence was insured by the government. As nearly as may be ascertained the fire started well after midnight, and about 12:35 was discovered by residents because of light reflection. Leslie Young got there first, followed by Roe Redd Sr., and soon a fairly good crowd was on hand. Some furniture was saved, clothing, and part of the bedding and most of the beds.

He is still in serious condition on Too Late to Classify tc tp tc DONT FORGET OUR BIG ITS GOING FAST j morning, and no Wednesday complete examination has been made, but the doctors believe his skull may be fractured. Mr. Barton left his brothers place at Verdure about 8 oclock Sunday morning enroute to Blanding, but intended to stop at the ranch east of the highway for a sack of grain. When he did not return his family decided that he had remained at the (ranch, at Verdure, or perhaps ,had gone to La Sal, Karl Barton, his brother owning the big Verdure farm thought all was well, until early Tuesday, Mrs. Hattie Barton called from Blanding, asking whether or not they knew where Frank had gone. Karl felt sure he had had bad luck, when he got the line on it, and he and his son jumped on horses and rode to the Barton ranch a few miles south, and there they found the victim lying in a pool of blood, unconscious, and still bleeding slowly. He was placed in a car and taken to Blanding. Fortunately there are two M.D.s there, one visiting a few days, and good medical care and consultation was at hand. But Mr. Bartons condition did not permit even much examination, as he was in need of rest caused by at least ,36 hours without water, and the loss of so much blood, and they did not permit undressing him until Wednesday evening. Yesterday he had revived somewhat, but still unconscious, and blood coming from his mouth. The doctors believe he likely has a fractured skull. Pos- sibly today thorough examination will reveal the . exact I condition. He may have slipped, as he started down the ladder with the sack of grain, or a plank may have broken before he got to the ladder properly, according to advice. But it seems plain that one or the other is the cause of the serious fall with a sack of wheat. It is remarkable how his We Are Closing Out endurance kept him alive so many hours, and this fact may mean that he has power of recovery, as his many friends, and the large circle of relatives hope. Mr. Barton is 52 years old. His wife, Mrs. Hattie Barton, daughter of L H. Redd, is a well known leader and school teacher. There are four grown sons and daughters, all at home, it is believed. Miss Donna Barton, recently returned from the college at Logan, and was the correspondent for the Record until she wrent to school last fall with her sister, Roma. The Record joins with the immediate family and the many fronds in the hope and faith that Frank Barton will recover. Like many others here, Mr. Barton has grown up in San Juan and his lifes work is part of the history of the county. agri-cultr- al We need the room and are offering: UNUSUAL BARGAINS on our stock of paint.

Farmers who have not yet checked their tractors and other equipment and given them a com plete service should do the job immediately, says county agent Oris Rudd. Although it is probably too late now for major repairs, every farmer should inspect his machinery before going into the fields. The tractor air cleaner should be completely cleaned, the front wheel bearings should be packed and the cooling system should be checked for leaks. It would be a good idea, the agent advises, to flush the radiator with approved radiator cleaner. The spark plugs and the balance of :he ignition system should be checked and serviced.
