Fires have been very frequent in Carroll for
aFear past, and no cause can be assigned for
humber of them. They have been ascribed
to hcendiaries. Common belief is that quite
a number have been set on fire. Unoccupied
buildings have been burned and buildings in
whiclIihere was no fire. lf incendiaries are
abroadin Carroll, they should be brought TO
justlcesan some effort ought to be made TO
ascertain who the guilty parties are. Life
and property are unsafe with ineendiaries at
large, ann if this frequency of fires continues
Insurance. companies will decline To insure
property il the county.
