NO. 19 UPPER DEW VALLEY SOCIAL HALL BURNS EMITY PAIL AND KEROSENE SMELL LEIDS TO BELIEF FIRE W AS SPITEWORK. People of District Much Wrought Up and Are Offering SIAM Rew aid for Information laxadlug to Arrest and Conviction of the Guilty— *700 Loss, No Insurance. About 9 15 p. m. on Sunday. March 24th. fire whs discovered is suing from the upper Two Milo dance hall and community center, by Mrs. Elgin Strader. She Informed Mr Strader and others and they rushed to the scene, hoping to sava at least a portion of the contents. However, the inside of the buliliug was a mass of flames, and nothing was saved. Among the contents were an organ belonging to the Strader family, □ nsidured in the nature of an heir loom, flags, decorations, etc., all valuable intrinsically, and further prized, in the latter instances at least, because they were the fruits of community efforts and donations. Tlie hall was constructed three years ago the coming Fourth of July, lhe final touches having been made the morning fo the Fourth in order that a community dance and patriotic celebration might be held. The structure was constructed, mure to fill the need of a place wherein the community might foregather, than for any hopes of financial gain on the part of the builders, aud for that reason perhaps, Ila loss la doubly felt. Believed Fruit of Spitework The loss of the building Is laid to spite work and sectional jealousy by members of the upper Dew Valley community lu speaking of the fire with a Western World representative •oday. E. L. Strader, who with Chas. Ricnert, owned me uuitatna. stated this week that he was almost ertain tlie fire was the result t f animosity, for an empty lard pail, imelling strongly of kerosene seemed to have played an Important part, and together with various shoe narks leading to and from the scene, offer clues to possible appre hension of the guilty one or ones. He states that he offers a $50 ro- vard for information that will leail to the arrest and conviction of the riulty one or ones. He says the fire started between the kitchen and music stand and tliat a empty bucket •.eetns to havb played an Important part. One of the main losses was an organ, Borne 36 or more years old, a keepsake and something which can not be replaced The total losses amount to about $700.00 upon which no insurance was held Mr. Strader continued, "The hall had held many a happy crowd and we don't wish the guilty one any harm, only justice." New lire Bug on Two Mile ■ I W W are not blamed for the burning of the Two Mlle hall on the night of March 24,” said a com- nittee of men from that section to day. They continued: "We offer a cash reward of $150 for any one who will furnish evidence and conviction >f the guilty party.” A new hall will be erected by the former owners and their friends, is the sentiment of the majority of tho people of the district who greatly de plore the frame of mind of a person or persons who could possibly stoop so low as to destroy property of com munity interest. Miss Ena McKenzie, matron of the Emergency Hospital at Bandon, came down the latter part of last week and after attending the school entertain ment and Red Cross dance Saturday night and spending a few days at her parents’ home on Elk river, she re turned Monday. Miss Ena la now the only graduate nurse In Bandon. She has just gotten an opportunity to (ake examination for an assignment In France, wher she Is very anxious to go. However, she has several cases in Bandon she cannot well leave at this time, but she hopes to go to Portland a little later for the examination that will take her to the front as a Red Cross nurse—Port Orford Tribune. ♦ WOALD HONOR ROLL ♦ ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ Sam Barrows, Bandon Mrs E Laub, Bandon.
