10 That Origin.
T. IS evident that fire bugs have again
begun operations on the South Side.
Recently there have been several fires
IN that part Of the city and they have
Rll been trscoable 10 that origin. The
REGISTER reported fire Tuesday night
a. the home of Mrs. Henry Hahne, Of
No. 362G Eod street. IL was thought at
first the FIRE was caused by the explo-
sion OF gasoline There Is little doubt
now, however, that the fire was kindled
with the intention Of burning the prop
ertY, but for what purpose the
owners cannot Surmise. No
fire had been I'm the house
for two hours before the flames were
seen that night. When Mrs. Hahne
left the rear cellar kitchen she left the
door down. Just before the fire was
discovered, one Of the nsighb0rs saw
the door open, ard made the comment
Al the time, as none Of the family were
there. In a few minutes the flames
were seen coming from the cellar. 1t
is further stated that there were evil
dences that a pile Of shavings and other
articles had been heaped aud the fire
attached. The gasoline in the can ex-
ploded, but not until after the fire had
been burning for some time. No reason
is known why anyone should attempt TO
set fire 10 the place.

Did you notice none Of the other actors

fad that lots of actors who have played

when the bull is very savag and kills

than IL was 10 see him XIII

deavor to tire him out, making him run
after the red cloth, aud, when the poor
brute can hardly hreat he, then the es-
pada walks up to him and plants the
sword between his two shoulders. For
fully ten, sometimes fifteen, minutes

staggering, the blood pouring from his

the ~toreadors, laughing at MIN, insult

with their hands until he drops on bis
knees. Then a man, coming from be-
hind, stabs him In the middle OF the
forehead with a small dagger, and-the
bull is dead.
Then the people gave vent to their
enthusiasm. They applaud aud yell
themselves hoarse. The sspads and all
