JAIL ON FIRE. Crawford was conveyed
to the County Jail about two O'Clock
yesterday morning by officers Kelly and
Mckee, and locked up for being drunk
and disorderly. Shortly after being put
in there he set fire to the pulu mat
tress on which be was lying, and sue
ceeded in burning three pairs of blankets
and creating dense smoke which
alarmed Dave Newman, who in turn
quickly alarmed Bob Wilson and Gro.
Birdsall. Maxwell Was taken out Of Jail
and pnt in side room, and the officers
start d to work putting out the fire,
which they succeeded in doing by cart
ing ont the mattress and contents
and throwing them into the sink.
The blankets are burned 80 that
they are of no use at all. The proba-
billy is that if the officers had not got
the alarm as soon as they did that Max
we'll and Crawford would have been
smothered TO death. Mr.. Crawford may
not probably be aware of the fact that
his little freak entities him TO answer to
the crime of arson, and we suppose the
officers will make that charge against
drunk and dlsorderly and destroying
county property.
