The fire was discovered about mid
night, but was 80 far advanced OH its
errand of destruction that nothing Of
Mr.. Ream's large stock OF merchan-
disc was saved. Much Of his house
hold goods was saved, but dwelling,
store and stock were total loss 1t
is now supposed that the fire was the
work of on incendiary, and young
man living in Piqua was arrested and
had a preliminary examination on
charges of larceny and arson and was
committed to jail in default of hail for
court. The loss falls heavily ON Mr..
Ream, as he carried no insurance and
is out about 5000. At his time of
life it is doubtful If he ever catches
up again. Yates Center Ne,Ds.
