THE old Court House at Wheeling was
partially burned down on Tuesday. The
fire started in the tower of the building
and burned downwards. destroying the
tower and the upper story before it could
be extinguished. The building was put
up in 1910, and had been abandoned as a
Court House for many years. The most
probable theory as to the origin of the
fire, is that it was started by school boys,
who strayed up into the tower of the
building at noon.
