all its contents, including nearly 250 bales
of hops, is a total loss. The house was To-
Gated on what Is known. as the ::".Middls
RANCH" and a large quantity of hops was
undergoing the drying process. Ehe loss is >.
estimated at $4,000. and: there is said to

Menke.uses coal In his drying steve: Tits
thought likely that the coal gases :accumu-
lated in the oven or yault#beneatht the hop
house, causing the explosion. ME. Menke
believes that the fire and explosion were the
work of some one who was actuated by
malicious purposes. He enlisted the ser
vices Of Chief Drew in inYestig eating the
affair. The police, as well as the nsighbors
of Menke, take no stock in the theory OIL In
cendiaTism, and say that there are great
many opportunities in ahop-house for a fire.
