Dawson News: On last Wednesday night
a tWo-room negro house, situated on the east
end of Lee street. and owned by A. j. Bald
win & Co., was burned. The house was occu-
pied by the wife Of Nathan Jackson, a negro
laborer employed by Mrs. Harper. The house
and nearly all its contents were consumed.
Domestic infehcity seems to have been the
cause OF the IRE, and Jackson is now in jail,
under Indictment by the grand jury charged
with the crime. 1t appears that the negro
and his wife had not been living together for
sometime. He went TO see her that night and
the meeting between them was a stormy one.
jackson was very angry when he left, and
few minutes afterward the house was dis
covered TO be on fire. 1t is claimed by some
that he was seen leaving the house after the
blaze was started. He was arrested, and will
be tried for arson.
