SUPPOSED ORIGIN or THF FIRE.
The fire ia supposed to have been nmunlcs'ed by
rs disbccal being ia humsn shape, tu. there is no
reliable foundation for this suspicion. Mr.. Hogan |
Gays he is not aware that he hsa aa enemy. lie hss
not ossgreea with any seshbor, nor has ne had diff
cutes with any Of his employees and he kno ws not
ary person 10 whom ne 5as any re tson to aa,h the
slightest suspicion. He informed US that he returned
home fIom tho city on Tuesday night at about
o'clock 90, Of che stableboys Embarrassed his horse
ard stabbed Aim, but used no artificial light. The
moon shore brightly, and tSc boy, moreover, was 50
familiar with the premises thS lantern unneces;
