July Ufa was lost and two escaped with injuries from a mysterious fir which wiped out the farm home of John Holmes, four miles north of A.tqulth, early this morning. The victim was Rose Cooper, aged about 20, housekeeper on the farm, whose home was believed east of Sutherland.

Her body has not been found. Holmes was away vlstlng another farm, a short distance away, when fir broke out between 12 and 1 o'clock this morning. Two young men, Herbert and Floyd Falrbrother, 18 and 20, were left In th farmhouse with the housekeeper. They were awakened by smoke and Floyd tried to awaken the girl but could not reach her room for smoker and flames. Both boys called but apparently were unsuccessful in rousing the girl.

Finally they had to jump from the window of their room. In doing so, Herbert suffered a badly cut foot, shock and loss of blood. The boys, clad only in night attire, ran to the home of Harry Turner, a neighbor half a mile distant, to summon aid. Before they could return, however, the Holmes house was burned to the ground. The origin of ths was surrounded by mystery as there had been no Are In t( stov since noon Monday.

him the works," he ordered. "Take him through all the sideshows." But the city editor hasn't met Billie. Billie is an adventurous soul. All he wanted was the rides. Oh, he saw one sideshow.

He went to see the performing monkeys. What do you make of that, Mr. Editor? Billie was roaming around the Royal American Shows midway looking like a chap who had just lost hia pet dog when the reporter met htm. He had red wore overalls rather loosely, a few freckles dotted bis face and when he grinned a couple of spaces between missing teeth stood out like uncovered manholes. In fact, Billie seemed to be Just what the city editor had ordered.

Slightly Suspicious But he was a little Auspicious at first. Any guy who comes along and offers free rides and things must be a bit screwy, be seemed to think. A glass of orangeade thawed him out a bit. And when a little Negro chap whistled past picking up bits of paper, Billie laughed outright "Gee," he said between sips, "I have to laugh at that fellow." It was 3 o'clock when the two met Along about 8:15 p.m., mountain standard time, the reporter (Continued on Page 15) Misconceptions A bout Thornton Cleared Up A chance conversation In Toronto more than a year ago prompted D'Arcy Marsh to commence his biography of Sir Henry Thornton, shortly to be published by MacMlllane, in Canada, under the title "The Tragedy of Henry Thornton." The original idea was that the book should defend a public man who had been grossly maltreated by Canadians. A group of Sir Henry's friends were talking of his last years and on suggested the epitaph on Buckingham might be applied to the late head of th Canadian National "Now hath the butcher's dog pulled down the lordliest buck in England." After two months' investigation, Mr.

Marsh realized that his theme was more complex than ha had originally Imagined. A new Sir Henry emerged from his letters, from the recollections of his friends and business associates a strange mixture of weakness and strength, a greater man than the on who was one so familiar to Canadian and, in soma ways, a lesser man. It became clear that the book had to ba not a defenca but an explanation. It Is primarily the story of a man, but It Is the story also of a railway. which grew like a live thing.

In part it is a story of Canada herself. Although "The Tragedy of. Henry Thornton" is a biography, it deals necessarily with the Canadian railway problem. It is an attempt to set forth the lisiie in an Impartial, courageous manner to clear up the misconceptions which propagandists have mad general and to show the real significance of Sir Henry's work in the Dominion.
