Attempted Arson In Platteville.

The circumstances of the ncendia-
rism mentioned 10 q previous issue ap.
pear as follows: On Friday, March
9th, about p. m black smoke is
sued from the wooden building occu-
pied as q hardwar store by +. Dew
lin. who bought the stock in trade of
F. Noble, the previous occupant.
The prompt action of citizens put
out the fire before any Of the flames
were seen. The fire wac inside OF a
partition, which was the rear wall OF
the store before the shop addition
was built behind il, and it merely
burnt out the cobwebs and combust-
ibles in 3 small space enclosed be-
tween the lath, clapboards and two
adjacent pieces of studdiDg. Great
curiosity was felt to learn how such
place could take fire and some
hours after, person discovered that
short piece of cIapboard had been
taken out by cutting the nails, and
fre-trap set inside. A pile of rags
was at the bottom, on this a small
block with hole in which was the
end of talow candle, the block
wrapped 10 lamp wicking and the
whole saturated with kerosene. This
prepaI alton may have been made long
ago, and the only thing to be done on
that day would then be, to pull out
the clapboard, light the candle, close
aperture again and wait for the
q anne TO reach the oiled rags at the
bottom. The board was only held in
place by resting on two nails lightly
driven under it's edge and box plac-
ed against it. All this, it will be
seen, might be done by an enemy Of
the interested parties, in their ab.
sence.
Mr.. 4 Devlin was the subjected
to such suspicion that writ was is.
sued and be was arrested on the road
as he was returning from Mineral
Point, to which place he had gone on
Friday, the day of the occurrence.
He gave bail Tor 800 to appear for
examination, which was postponed
for two weeks The theory Of his
friends is that the deed was done by
some enemy of bis, with the inten
ton of having the fire safely extin
guished and the guilt laid upon Mr.
Devhn. The result Of the examina-
ton will appear rs coon as ascertain
