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

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

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
