1t Il Alleged That He Set Fire to Clarepo.
Ridlon's Barn-He Declares That He
Was Far Away From the Scene of tn,
Fire.
Yesterday afternoon Deputy Sheriff
Dolloff of Standish, arrested and broueh,
to this city William Archibald, on a
charge of setting fire to the barn Of
Clarence Ridlon, in Standish, on Wedues.
day afternoon last.
The end of April Mr.. Ridlon hired Arohi-
bald, who is young man, to work on the
farm for three fmonths. During that
time Archibald worked we'll. When the
time expired, on July 81, Mr.. Ridlon
told him he had no further use for his
services. Archibald, however, remained
about the place, living on Mr.. Ridlon
and spending his time playing ball and
reading In his room, instead of doing
chores about the place in return for his
living. Mr.. Ridlon then told him he
couldn't expect to live if he didn't work.
Last Tuesday Mr.. Ridlon told Archi-
bald to go and Archibald went off. We'd
nesday afternoon the barn was discovered
to be in flames and was entirely con-
sumed together with a quantity of hay
and some hogs The barn and contents
were valued at $1,000, on which there was
$500 insu rance.
1t was at once believed from the
time at which the fire started and from
other clues in the possession of Mr..
Dolls,ff, that Archibald must have been
the incendiary. He was found by Mr.
Dollof and arrested. Archibald claimed
to be able to prove an alibi saying that
at the time of the fire he was away in
Boston. Deputy Sheriff Dolloff. how
ever, saysaahe has got tho inoendiary sure;
til at he has traced him from the time
he left Standish on Tuesday to the time
of the fire the next afternoon Arohi-
bald is now in jail.
Mr.. Ridlon will feel the loss of his prop
erty very keenly. Some five years ago
he met severe pecuniary loss and had
just succeeded in getting OH his feet
again.

TRAGEDY In DEERING.
A Caller at the Too thpick Factory
Struck Down.

Fe1led to the Ground With Iron Tongs and
Cast Into Blazing Fire-No Arrests
Made and Nobody VIII be Prosecuted
AssaiIant Admits the Deed and Defies
Prosecution Arrest.
The men at the toothpick factory in
nserlng had unique caller Thursday
afternoon. He was given very warm
receptio n, so warm in fact that he was
SO unstrung and overcome by the ex-
uberance of feeling displayed by his
hosts that no suddenly tainted and the
swoon proved to be the swoon of
death.
Just little while before the storm
broke yesterday afternoon the telephone
at the factory rang violently several
time. 1t is located in a little office con-
nected by door with the machine sh op.
Near the phone is large upright post
or beam and into this post is driven a
large iron spike.
One OF themen in the shop hearing the
bell ring started to answer it. He had
just reached the door and started to take
the phone down when his eye kfell: upon
the visitor who had come in unawares
and taken up a position by the beam re-
ferred to.
The machinist was so overcome by the
strange appearance. of the visi tor that he
turned pale. gave a shrek and fed.
The superintendent of the factory Mr..
@. F. Scamman hearing the bell still
ringing started for the telephone.
He had no sooner reached the office
than his sight fell upon the caller.
Soamman rubbed his eyes to see If he
was alive. He looked the second time and
said to himself. IT am all right yet, there's
somebody there sure" and he recognized
in his caller an old friend.
Then MIR. Soamman proceeded to ex-
tend very cordial greeting but rather a
peculiar one for old friends He seized
a mammoth pair Of tongs and coming up
behind the visitor hit him tremendous
blow over the back of the neck and felled
him to the ground. Before he could re-
90 yer himself be was seized by Scamman
and hurled into blazi ng fire under the
boiler. A brief moment and all was
over and the visitor chad made his last
call upon earth.
1t was a clear case of assault and MUIR
der A terrible tragedy had sbeen oom-
United within the peaceful little .city :.of
Deering. The'assailant was not arrested
and the police authorities of Deering
have dooIipod In IN be orv n oA;oo o..a..L
Seaman.
He is walking the streets today the
self accused and confessed Of the above
awful deed. So complete has been as the
inactivity of the authorities in the mat
ter that not even a ooroner's inquest
has been held.
Will the law abiding people Of Deerins
submit to such state of affairs
"YesP'
"Whyp"
Because Scamman's caller was a snake.
1t was of the breed called the milk
adder and measured three feet and half
in length lie had entered the factory
unseen, crawled up on beam and
taking turn with himself .saround the
spike was entirely taken mp with
the performance of the bell Of the tele-
phone.
He evidently was not pleased with the
BELLS antics as according to Scammar
his snaksship was preparing to "swat''
the instrument when he discovered him.
