Incendiary Origin, Hint-ed at ... . Fire destroyed sll the outhouses at the Kapelle ranch Wednesday evening about 9:45, and only the prompt work of the Bingham Fire Department saved the dwelling house. A large two story barn, a chicken house, two sheds, and a cow barn, were burned to the ground by the fire that burned and smouldered throughout the night and was still smouldering Thursday morning. ' Otto Kapelle and family were in Salt Lake City at the time of the fire, and did not arrive home until nearly midnight. Peculiar circumstances surround the fire, and many are of the opinion that it was started by some unknown person, it has been said . The reservoir, at the top of the hill above the Kapelle ranch", had been drained the day before the fire, for the purpose of cleaning it before the winter supply was turned in. An odor of coal oil was plainly noticed by the first who arrived on the scene from Bingham, it is said, and the fact that Mr. Kapelle was away from home at the time, also lends to the incendiary theory, it is claimed, although no clue to the fire starter had been discovered at the time of going to press. Horses, belonging to Frank Rob-bin- s, which were at first thought to have been burned, are said to have strayed away before the barn burned down, and it is the opinion of Mr. Kapelle that they will be located. Two sheep and fourteen ducks were burned. The barns were partially covered by insurance. SLEEPING CHILDREN JOLTED BYBDULDER Peculiar Accident Happens in Mark-ha- m Gulch Without Injury to Children Sleeping in Bed Broken by Falling Monster. i Can a boulder weighing two ton hit the head of a bed, with a child aslee thereon and the child come out of the accident unscratched? This i sthe question that was answered Sunday evening at 9:30 when a large rock fell down the side of the hill in Markham Culch, shattering the house just above the Markham bridge occupied by W. C. Dallas and family. Coming down the hill during the heavy rain storm of Sunday night, the huge rock paid but little attention to the side wall of the dwelling, smashing its way through with ease, and continuing its journey hit the head of a cot, in which Leona, aged 3. .Vasslclpingafj Tien "crashed through the floor, finally lodging in the creek that runs under the house. Elmo, aged 7, asleep in another bed in the same room, was covered with lumber and debris, although he still continued his peaceful slumber throughout the excitement. The boulder, upon falling through the floor, took the cot occupied by Leona along with it, the child being discovered a few minutes later, with the head of the cot standing straight up, and the child still asleep uncon-scious of what had happened. After hearing the noise, Mrs. Dal-las, with her infant son, Wilbur, in her arms, made for the scene of the distrubance, and upon opening the door, falling directly into the hole caused by the rock, landing right side up on the boulder. Neither the moth-er or the child received as much as a scratch. The rock, which measured 3 feet by 6 feet, and weighed close to two ton, is still in the creek. Mr. Dallas is employed by the B. & G., and is the father of nine chil-dren, and was working night shift when the accident, happened. BURG LARS STEAL Home of Joe Marriott is Robbed of Cash and Pair of Bedroom Slip-pers. - Slipperi Are Returned. ' Shhh Shhh again! Jhere is a sneak thief in the camp, and according to reports he is known .although the of-fended still thinks hejis a slicker. The home of Joe Marriott on Main street is the place thai has been vis-ited and it is said that although valu-able jewelry was in p&in view of the sneak, he molested it not. The story goes that Mrs. Marriott put $40.00 away in one of the sleep-ing rooms along with a! new pair of bedroom slippers, given as a gift in token of services rendered while nurs- - ing case. ' t The oeyrijrfMeojref4 to be missing, and then a scaroh was made for the slippers without result. Many of the neighbors had been told of the theft, which happeden about five weeks ago, but was kept a secret in an effort to locate the miscreant. After many of the neighbors had heard of th emishap, and it had been gossipped over the back fences pro and con, low and behold, one Sun-day morning, Mr. Marriott on visit-ing his blacksmith shop, found that the slippers had been thrown through a window in the shop, and lay on the floor. Now for Sherlock. Some one who heard about the robbery, and being nervous about being found out as the thief, conceived the plan to return the slippers lest they be discovered on the feet of the offended at some time or other. The fact of the whole thing is that the slippers, although cherished, are not near as essential as the return of the said $40.00, and according to reports, is somewhere close to the Marriott residence. The offender is said to be known, and the silence in the matter has been due to th efact that the Mar-riott's are willing to give the thief a chance to replace the money, and it is said that they are willing to take it back on the installment plan. At the time of the robbery, marks were plainly visible on the window sill where the screen had been re-moved. After the Marriotts have been so kind as to refrain from exposing the offender, it behooves the culprit to replace the lucre, and the incident will be forgotten. nils to MEETAT PROVO Annual Convention of Kiwanis Clubs in the Utah-Idah- o District to be Held at Utah County Metropolis for Three Days, Starting Aug. 21. Provo is getting ready to entertain 500 Kiwanians and their wives at the annual convention of the Utah-Iadh- o district, according to advises received here this week by Eugene Chandler, secretary of the local Kiwanis club, from A.

Twenty-fiv- e clubs in the two states will send delegate, and alternateclo the House of Delegates, and in addi-tion there will be a meeting of the twenty-fiv- e trustees representing the local clubs in the district organiza-tion. There will be approximately five hundred Kiwanians and their wives who will become the guests for three days of the Provo Kiwanis club, as-sisted by the clubs of Springville and Spanish Fork through whose loyal assistance Provo secured the conven-tion this year. It is planned to have Governor Mabey address the opening session of the convention bespeaking the welcome of the State of Utah to our neighbors from Idaho and setting forth the great resources of our own state, while Mayor Hansen of Provo will tender the official welcome of the city. Details of the conduct of the con-vention are in the hands of Past President Alex Hedquist and his committee on general arrangements, while a very unique program is being worked out by Past Trustee Edgar McArthur and his committee. The Provo Rotary club and the Chamber of Commerce are lending very worthy support to the project in a spirit of community service that assures the success of the big meet. The good people of Provo and of Utah county will have an opportuni-ty to show their hospitality to these hundreds of visitors who will carry forever in their lives an appreciation of the spirit of these communities and the glory of their resources. The occasion will be a great one for Provo and Utah county. Very truly yours, A. BULLOCK. Chairman Publicity Committee. "SfiS jh ,v ., . ... k '' Liquids That Were Made Taboo by ' the Eighteenth Amendment ' Flow Gently Down Bingham's Thorough- - fare, Much to the Chagrin of By-standers. , - J' ; That the world is cnel was. made manifest Wednesday morning of this, week, when bottle after bottle of hon- - . est to goodness home brew, the kind that backs up and kicks; and. real; hootch, the kind that is guaranteed ' . to leave you with a headache for a , . week, and wine, from" the luscious - -- ' " grape and cherry, were turned, loose " : in Markham Gulch, and slowly wend-ed their way around the corner down Main street, going softly and gently i down the canyon, much to the disgust of niany, spectators, .whose whistles1 needed 'whatting, and whose throa--- v were so dry that permits had to be & s- - gotten to even sneeze. .This is the place for a new paragraph, but we will continue to write this sad calami-ty as it really happened, and what does a paragraph more or Jess mean when so much real wet goods are . at stake. It happened something like i this: A fellow came along and see- - ing a barrel filled with wine pro-- ceeded to take a pick and wham the container until the red fluid flowed down the gulch in such quantities as to make tears come to the eyes of the lookers-on- . ... - Then oh cruel fate how can we ' continue? Then came a bunch of bottles filled with what some one " at some time had called the best . home brew in the world. The kiddies of the town were given bottle open- - ers and then the fun started. Pop, then another pop, and away went the home brew down the gulch to join its companion, the wine, and then but must we continue this sad story? , Alright, then, here goes.

Hootch hootch, that has been 'the pride of many a party, and to see it floating down Main street was more than we could bear. ' With tears in our eyes, and with a heavy heart, we wandered back to our typewriter, and upon farther in-quiry found that Sheriff Ben Har-ries, assisted by Deputies Miller, Mitchell and Mahlstrom from Salt Lake City, and Chief Deputy Ade Heaston of Bingham and Billy Edg-ingt- on of Highland Boy, were the makers of the merry making, and that the private garage of Ade Heas-ton, where the pesky stuff used to be stored, and where we'uns could stop on the sidewalk and inhale a jag, was being cleaned up, and the bot-tles and kegs were to be sold, so that when more was confiscated, there would at least be room for part of the loot. Why do we feel so blue? Why is this written with tears falling? Friends, during the process of elim-ination the Sheriff and his "force messed up just exactly 1000 gallons of hootch, 800 bottles of home brew, and close to 2000 gallons of wine. A handkerchief, please. A Athletic Association if Formed by Worker at Utah Apex Mine and Membership cards are Fast Being Filled. At a meeting held last week in the offices of the Utah Apex Mining company, an athletic association was formed with Joe Norden as president, F. Ernest Dean as secretary, and Paul Ransom as treasurer. An exe-cutive committee with full power to act, composed of Eddie Martin, W. W. Showalter, and Clyde Brown, was also elected. Joe Delaney was ap-pointed captain of the baseball team for the balance of the season. The purpose of the organization is to get workers into closer relation with the athletes employed at the mining ,and to formulate good sports-manship among the workers. Dues for th encw organization will be 50 cents a month, which will en-title the holder of the card to all the benefits of the organization throughout the year, including basket-ball as well as baseball. With the Apex baseball team strengthened into being one of the best teams in the state, athletics took a sudden jump and interest it at a high pitch among the workers. Manager Delaney reported to the committees present that he is book-ing games as fast as possible, and will try and give the members of the as-sociation at least one game a week at home, with one game a week away from home. Membership cards can be had from any of the members of the executive committee, or by calling on Secretary F. Ernest Dean. MIDYEAR ON METAL Ul Department of the Interior Releases Mid-Ye- ar Condition Report Show-ing Vast Gainst in Metal Produc-tion of Bee Hive State. V. C. Heikes of the Geological Survey of the Department of the In-terior has just compiled statistics relative to the mining industry of the State of Utah, and many Inter-esting gains are shown in the report. Following is the report, as sub-mitted: The shipments of ore from mines in Utah during the first half of 1924 . indicate a high rate of production of metals, especially of copper and lead, according to a statement issued by the Department of the Interior, based upon statistics collected by V. C. Heikes of the Geological Survey. As the prices of metals other than lead were much larger in 1924 than in 1923, the production may be consid-erably decreased before the en df the year.
