Vol. 28 THE SCIO TRIBUNE $6000 LOSS RESULT OF MIDNIGHT FIRE Blaze Discovered by Young ladies Returning From a Dance—Total Loan About midnight Friday night fire was discovered in the rear of C. E. Kendle's blacksmith shop by Mlsees Bobby Thayer and Midge Coueyand they immediately sounded the fire alarm. The girls were on their way home from 'a dance at Sublimity, and this is one time when a dance proved a blessing to Scio. The blase seemingly had just started, and was in the vicinity of the emery wheel and drill, about three-fourths of the way to the back of the shop. Mr. Kendle had gone to Portland Friday morning and his wife had accompanied him as far as Salem, and EM Stepanek had woiked for him that day. Before cioaing. Mi. Stepanek had gone through the shop to see if everything was okeh, and he saw nothing unusual. It is thought that the insulation on the electric wire that furnishes current for the drill and emery wheel had become worn and finally aet fire to the building, causing a complete Ions. The citizens took hold of the hoee and worked valiantly to eave the Scio Garage and the Caln hardware and furniture store, which for a time looked very dubioua. Had not the old building next to the shop i>een torn out some time ago and the present dismantling of the old Christian church been in progreat, it is probable most of the northwest part of town would have been burn ed out. C. L. Pennell used the garden hoee from the Bartu Garage on the walls of the hardware store, while Dean Morris and Gerald Hassler fought the flames in the building formerly occupied by Dr. Ficq. and while John Sticha.Raymond Chromy and others tried to hold the flames down in the blacksmith shop. No wind was blowing, which helped the firemen, who are entitled to a great deal of praise Mr. Pennell sprained his left ankle when he fell off the roof of the machinery room of the Cain building and was laid up for a Turn to page 3. please DK.C.FIOQ DENTIST Cusick Bank Buikhng Albany, Oregon“ “ Plate* That Fit ” Crown and Bridge Work.

It was decided to turn them to The Tribune to be held until they would be advertised for. We did not g«t to keen them very long, however, f >r they wrre c cm- ed in about an hour. Erie Phillipa, proprietor of the store at Jordan, had come to town to pay *>>mc bills, and these had dropped out when he was handling the money.
