Lucky Escape u Property RFon De-
stvsetion Last Night.
Fire was discovered In Thomas Drew's
barn 1t the rear Of 9i3 Third street last
evening at $40 O'Clock, but through the
prompt action Of Joseph Thorndyks and
Officer Powers we're quickly extinguished.
This being the second IRE within two days
in barns where horses were kept gives rise
20 the suspicion that . firebug is working
in the city.
Mr.. Dres's barn and the shed at its south
side stand back on the alley that runs be-
tween Second and Third and Madison and
Marion streets. From the alley . little
door gives entrance to . narrow walk that
runs between the shed and the barn. II
was By mere chance that Joseph Thorn
dyke. while on his way home, took short
cut through the little door. No sooner
had he opened the door than he saw that
the she'd Was flied with dense smoke that
came from . pile OF hay. He yelled fire
- loud as he could, and then ran to .
water faucet near at hand for bucket Of
water. The alarm brought Mrs. Drew out
OF the house. and when she saw what was
the matter abe ran to the house aud gave .
second alarm. which was heard by Officer
Powers. Powers first impulse was to turn
IN an alarm, but he concluded, ~ there
were no flames in sight, 70 investigate be-
fore bringing out the department. When
he reached the scene he found Thorndyke
had gotten the fire under control by dash
ing buckets Of water around the shed and
over the hay.
As soon - the smoke cleared away Q
light was brought from the house and it
Was found that under ono end Of bale Of
hay FIRE had been started with small
pieces Of paper. Ons-half Of the bale was
burned, but no other damage was done.
The occupants of the house said that the
paper must have been taken into the shed,
~ il Was not there in the day time, and
they also spoke Of . man who had been
hanging around the barn during the day
and Who told one of the children that he
intended sleeping in the barn. One
peculiar thing about the FIRE 10 that 1t was
started at the time the police patrols arc
changed, and in such . place that Mr..
Drew's barn. with the horses, his residence
and the property at the southwest corner
OF Madison and Third streets would have
been . mass of flames in . few minutes.
All the buildings are Of wood and so stu
atsd that the flames would have spread in
oil directions.
There 10 no clue, otherwise than that of
the man hanging around the barn, As to
the identity Of the firebug. yet il is prob
able that the IRE in the barn of Mrs. Mary
]. Wright Tuesday evening might have
some connection with the attempt last
night.
