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. Lynne, of Ellensburg, Wash.,
are visiting Mr. Roberts’ aunt, Mrs,
Arthur Wolf. Mr. Roberts is now
in New Guinea.
