Tried to Burn the Town.


About 0 o'clock last evening off.
cers Dodge and Taylor saw a well
known vag and habitue of the city
prison come out of Menke's
store, on the corner of Broadway
and Sixth street, with a bottle in
his hand. They suspected that
WhIsky was about to be smuggled
Into the city prison, but inquiry in
tho store elicited the fact that he
had purchased ten cents worth of
coal oil. They concluded to
shadow him and folio wed him along
Sixth street to Jefferson, where
they lost sight of him. A moment
later = sheet of flame shot up the
oldo Of : deserted building opposite
whore the officers stood which
revealed the object of
their search In the act
of kindllng q fire. They immedi-
ately secured him and, assisted by
special officer Ross who was near
by, extinguished the flames. To
make assurance doubly sure they
turned In an alarm, but the firemen
were not needed. The building was
an old shanty and fit subject for
such operations. The man was
looked up on q charge of arson. On
the way to the station he was asked
by officer Dodge what induced him
TO make the attempt. He replied,
Sd the town. / couldn't get q
living In it, and was going to burn
II up.n At the station house Capt.
/. Fletcher asked him the same ques-
tlon, and he answered that he
wanted to illuminate the town."

for two or three years, most Of the
time ~ q prisoner, convicted OF
petty offenses. During his perl ods
Of liberty he has frequented the

picked up his living by begging
about the city. He is considered
one Of the incorrigibles, although
d times, from his queer actiona,
the officers have been led to believe
that he was out Of bis mind. The
Impression In police circles is thai
he set the fire for the purpose ol

beyond controversy that throughout the
animal kingdom the survival of the fit-
