Thursday morning, i - a fire alarm was turned in about ' eight o'clock and altho the fire f i truck, No. 1, was just a few sec- - I onds responding to the call, the f flames were issuing from every I side of the Tivoli Rooming I House. Upon the arrival of the I volunteer firemen, they at once , connected their hoses with the N water mains but with only sixty pound pressure, little could be f accomplished. The flames con--J . tinued to spread and before the V onlookers could realize the fact, v .the Belmont Rooming House, consisting of twenty rooms and owned by Jim Vietti was a mass i of flames, most of the roomers were at work and lost everything they possessed. At the back of shop with seven rooms and a fifteen room apartment in the rear with two rooms in each. The Standish copper precipitating plant, Eight garages and two room house owned by Jerry Chinico. Much credit must be given the efficient work of both the vo-lunteer companies but were hand-icapped without sufficient press-ure of water. Albert Marriott, of the County fire fighters is an old Binghamite and knew extot-rrrr- r rooms ......kopu lil li dililnn ly how to go at the business, he with his men and their equip-ment was capable in every res-pect and was the means of check ing the flames from continuing their course down the canyon. It is with regret we report that Carl Carlson, Bingham's Fire Chief sustained severe burns his head and hands and is now a patient at the Bingham Hospital as the result. D. E. Stoddard, a machinist of the i . . this building, Jim Vietti owned J twelve houses, each containing J three rooms,, which' occupied J part of the sidehill from the 1 Main Street to the homes of the i Utah Copper officials on the top 4 of the hill, were burned to the ground in a few minutes," all of 4 .the buildings being of wood.

This property is in charge of s the. Bankers Trust Co., of Salt ,.,--. . Lake. Continuing up the canyon the Europe Pool r Hall and rooming house with X- - twelve rooms soon became an-other inferno.

Altho men that should be in a position to know only estimate the loss at $75,-00- 0, from reports gathered, we would estimate the property and personal losses at least $250,000. Two hundred people are without homes and many have lost their every possession. The women of the Tivoli 4 Rooms escaped in their night attire, most of them 46ftvigiidhce to --join friend3 at Salt LakjCity.
