Suspicious Circumstances Surrounding
the Fire In Fred KrelPs Res
laurent Last Evening.

At 1890 last night an alarm was
sounded in the Second ward, which
brought the department to 1916 Second
avenue, smoke having been discovered is
suing from Fred Krell's restaurant. The
fire was first noticed by Mr.. Frank Bow
en-, who was attracted by the odor Of
burning timber, and going to the door of
the store he found the room to be filed
with smoke An alarm was Immediately
sounded, and the Phoenix and Wide
Awake companies were soon on hand,
followed by other companies of the vol.
unteer department. The fire was found to
be in the rear or kitchen of the establish
ment. and was working up the northwest
corner. The firemen soon had several
streams ON the blaze, which was extin-
guished in short time.
The building is owned by DR.. Gregg,
and the damages to him viii be about
$50, covered by insurance in Hayes &
Cleveland's agency. Mr.. KrelPs loss is
mainly through broken crockery, etc. &,
and will be about $25, the property
being insured in E, Lieheruecht's agency.
A great deal ofthe damage, Mr.. Krell says,
is caused through indscriminate use of
water on the part of the firemen.
The circumstance surrounding the fire
point very conclusively to incendiary Or
igin. A hole had been made through the
brick wall from the outside directly ovel
the place where the fire was burning
when first seen. And Mr.. Bowen say,
when he first noticed the smoke and went
to the door, man was hurrying up Sec
ond avenue from Seventeenth street. Mr.
Bowen addressing him. said, 'there mus
be fire here somewhere"
"Yes, there is fire somewhere" re-
piled the stranger, who soon disappeared
| down Second avenue.
Mr.. Bowen did not know the man, but
was impressed with his strange actions
Who he is. or what was his motive il
the incendiary act-if he is guilty of it
nobody knows. Mr.. Krell left his store
at 10 O'Clock and everything was all RICH
