several other glass fronts along
Ihat side of the Main street.
No one ninn-ars to know
whether the blaze started from a
bonfire which had been burning
in the rear of the Sanford Store,
or whether It caught from spon
taneous combustion. When th'
fire department reached the place
a few minutes after tho alarm tne
Sanford Store was a mass of
(lames. Aff.-tin and again the fire
men were driven back from their
wovh by tbe infr-nso heat. Len
Goar, of Ilillsboro", happened to
be passing n the Goar machine
when the fire started and he did
.plciitlid work for an hour ham!
ling the hose.
When the Ham. s reached llu
Odd I'cllow 'lliiek il was sup
pD.icil they would easily be ex
tinguished but there wasn't the
slightest chance as the walls were
assailed by so inti-li.se a In-al that
no human effort could check tin
progress. Then the Cone. Church
caught, and in a few minutes lime
it was it ruin, oun Mork, a
fireman aged about 17, was ov
ercome from smoke mul In at, and
fell from a ladder while working
it the church structure, anil Dr.
Haw ke waited on him. l or tv o
hours it was thought he would
expire, but he rillied ami by
Monday morning recovery
was assured.
After two .hours the section
was laid waste. The Ilillsboro
and Cornelius fire departments
were ru-lied to the Grove as rap
idly as motors would carry them,
and the Portland Comp.-ny sta
tioned near St. Vincent's Hos,i
tal reached the bla.e inside of an
hour and twenty minutes. This
is considered an almost impossi
ble feat, .'onsidci-ing the condi
tion of Ihe roads, anil the fid
that the engine w is nearly hunt
ed out when tin big machine

Grove's officials were loud in the
praise of the Ilillsboro depart
ment, and Sunday evening when
the Argus representative talked
to Chi. f Lentict ille, he said:
Ilillsboro certainly came to our
elief just at the right time. It w.n
very gratifying to us that we had
such a hearty response to our
trouble call. We arc not forget
ting the way Ilillsboro responded,
mil whenever we can return the
favor we shall be pleased to
break our necks getting down
there. We onlv hope Hill-boro
will be so favored that we must
return the compliment in some
other way than bv fighting fire.
EDWIN R. KYLE
T-M win It, Kyle, a unlive of Ce
llar Mill, drowned in ihe Tuala
tin Kiver, Sunday, while in bath
ing. The autop.,v .showed that
Mr. Kyle was stricken with heart
failure. He was in bathing with
a big crowd and was seen to sink.
The body was recovered by Ed.
Gt igi r, and every effort w is
made to resuscitate it, but to no
avail. The heart had ceased to
function before strangulation. Dr.
l- H. Smith, who attended,
stated.
l-'dwin R. Kyle was born near
Cedar Mill. April IS, 1S.U0. and
he was the son of Mr. and .Mrs.

idents of that section.

ceased is survived by the father
and the following brother and
two sisters Ray Kyle, U. S. Na
vy, aboard the U. S, Ship P.agle,

ta Kyle, ill home; Mrs. Nellie
Squire, wife of Clifford Squire,
of Portland.
The body was taken to the Geo.
J. Limber Undertaking Parlors,
and the funeral took place at the
Union School. Wednesday fore
noon. The particular place where
Mr. Kyle was drowned claims a
victim every year or so.
Deceased was a popular young
man. sober, industrious nnd relia
ble. His death is a shock to bis
illllllV friends in East Washing
ton County, and the family b
the sympathy of a large circle .of
friends.
The voun.-y man was a machin
ist and had worked for 6 years
for the Hesse-Martin Co. of Port
