PAGE TH*n THE HERMISTON HERALD. HERMISTON. OREGON. THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1945 ECHO NEWS ITEMS Frank Hale found a leather bill fold Monday on the lot formerly the site of the Hoskins Hotel and although it had evidently contain ed considerable money the large roll of currency was so badly charred that it was impossible to distinguish the denomination of the bills. The only money that withstood the fire was two nickels, which were burned black. It is be lieved that the bill fold was lost by some occupant of Hotel Hoskins when the large building burned in 1920. A dinner and card party is plan ned for Echo Masons and their families at the lodge hall Monday evening. The committee in charge is Sloan Thompson. George Vin cent and Willard Dorn. Edward E. Compton, an employ ee at Umatilla Ordnance Depot, was seriously burned Saturday af ternoon when the house where he was sleeping burned to the ground. Compton did not awake until the building was in flames and in making his escape he was badly burned about the feet, his hair was burned off and he had severe burns on the face and breast. He was rushed to the Pendleton hos pital for treatment. Compton works on the night shift at Ord nance and was alone in the house, half a mile south of Echo, his wife and children being shopping in town at the time. The city fire department responded to a call but was unable to save the building. None of the contents, consisting of personal belongings of the Comp ton family, was saved. The build ing, on the Spike farm southwest of Echo, was partially insured but it is reported there was no insur ance on contents. Mrs. Muri Roberts and daugh ter.
