AS Charles Reed was passing up Center
street about six o'clock Thursday evening
with load of hay, the load was discovered
to be on fire. Several persons on the
street saw the smoke, and called to Reed
but he supposed they were fooling him, did
not discover it till he reached the Baptist
church. He tried to extingush the hre
but could not and drove to the corner oil
Court street and turned over his load in
order to save the wagon. The whistle was
blown and large crowd congregated al
the fire. The engines left their houses bu'
did not go the scene of the fire. The load
of hay, 1900 pounds, was entirely burned
and the reach and one spring of the wagon
were broken. 1t is probably the work OF
some one who thought it would be fun Ia
see the load burn. The purpetrator of this
wanton act should be punished for ma
licious mischief.
