Spokane Falls Has Firebups.

Spokane Falls, July 16, special to the
journal: Firebugs have made numerous
attempts of late to burr the city. This
morning a frame structure containing
1000 gallons Of kerosene oil, in the real
OF a large warehouse, was set on fire by
an incendiary. But for the prompt action
OF the fire department the city would
surely have been doomed, as the block was
composed of frame structures, in the heart
OF the city. A vigilance committee was
organized this morning, composed of lead.
ing business and professional men. Mem
beers will patrol the streets at night incog-
