Another incendiary fire was started last |
evening, and at 7:15 box rs sounded the |
alarm. A large pile of kindling wood in a |
shed at the rear of E. M. Woodward'Scoal |
Office, at the foot of Ferry street was set on |
fire, and when steamer SIS men arrived 1t
was burning pretty lively; but the men
worked quick and bad the fire out in about
three minutes. The corner of the shed
was nearly burned through, but the loss is
trifling. The Grand avenue precinct sent
down a wagonload of policemen when the
alarm was sounded. The people of that
portion of the city are becoming much
wrought up over the work of the fire bugs,
and would be willing to furnish night
patrol to assist tbs police in catching the
incendisries.
