QUEBEC, Sept. 14.-Fire broke out yes
terday morning in the grocery store oc-
cupied by Octave oulett on part of the

When the fire broke out two men
rushed into 0ulett's store, where the
fire originated, and made the discovery
that the place was saturated with coal
oil, showing that the fire was of incendi-
airy origin. When this got noised
abroad the infuriated mob procured q

and couple of men came on the scene,
and with great difficulty rescued oulett
