Firebugs at Rockland
Rockland, August g. A house just
off North Main street and near CeGar,
was Quilted by fire late tonight. The
structure had only been recently built
by Captain Charles Crocker, who re-
moved here from Machias, and who is
absent on sea voyage. Mrs. Crocker
was also away from home, and as there
had been no fire in the house for fully
week the fire must haves been incendiary.
The department responded to an alarm,
from box 4S. and saved the building
from total destruction. The loss is
about $4,000; insured with Cochran,
Baker & Cross.
