An Incendiary Saturated 1t With Oil and
Put Fire to 1t sunday Night.
An unsuccessful attempt was made to
burn the guard house sunday night
AS Jailer Tedder was coming down
Third Avenue at quarter past nine
o'clock he saw blaze suddenly appear
at the city prison.
The alarm was given, and Mr., Tedder
kept the fire subdued by throwing wet
dirt on it until the fire company could
respond, when the flames were easily
and quickly extinguished. The build
ing was not damaged in the least
There was no occupant in the prison
There is no doubt that the fire was
the work of an incendiary. as kerosine
had been poured on the outer walls and
the torch with which the fire was start
ed was found burning by Mr.. Tedder
when he reached the scene. Mr.. Ted
der also found the bucket in which the.
incendiary carried the oil.
When the fire blazed up Mr.. Tedder
saw some one run off from the guard
house, but he was not near enough to
tell who it was. Fletcher Pride, who
was coming out of Captain Aliens yard
gate, also saw the fire bug as he ran off.
