WILLS POINT, May Is The cotton
platform of the Texas and Pacific rail-
way was discovered to be on fire this
morning about 4:90 O'Clock. Accord
ing to the check book of the owner,
Mr.. john R. Mcneil, there should
have been 1877 bales of cotton on the
platform, but 46 bales of it had
been stolen before the platform was
fired. Of the remaining l21 bales 81
were totally destroyed and go were
saved with slight damage. The oil
house is situated about $50 yards east
of the platform and the lock had been
broken off and 20 gallons of oil stolen
which was usad by the incendiaries
in saturating the cotton and plat
form. The cotton had just been
moved from the cotton shed and the
agent had accepted it for shipment.
The incendiary and thief were doubt.
less one and the same person and it is
the boldest piece of rascality that has
ever occurred in the history of the
town. The thief, after he had stolen
the cotton and fired the platform,
placed sufficient number of new
ties, bent as if they had been around
the bales OF cotton, under the plat
form, 30 that when it burned down it
would appear as having
burned the stolen bales with
it. Where the thief could
have gotten in one night with as
bulky mass as 46 bales of cotton is
decidedly preplexing to our officers
and citizens. 1t is thought by some
that there was gang implicated in
the steal and that they will divide the
cotton and sell 1t to the merchants of
neigh boring towns. The damage to
the cotton saved is about 500, burned
$2195; stolen $3.50. The platform was
not entirely burned, but the damage
is not less than $3.50. There is abso.
lutely no clue to the perpetrators.
