CHARGED WITH ARSON.
George Bates Jr., and John Parks Arrested,
Charged With Burning Down
Bottling Place.


For some time past Officer John Wood
ruff has been working on a clue to the
burning ofthe beer place of George Bates,
Jr., out on Irving avenue, and warrant
had been issued against Bates and John
Parks, charging them with being the fire
bugs.
1t is said Bates got a pretty heavy in
surance on his place, and that when it
burned down the amount of stock he
claimed to have had on hand was grossly
misrepresented. The insurance was
paid.
Bates, short time ago, bought Acton's
bottling place, at Salem, and has since
been running that, and has been away
from here in consequence.
Sunday Officers Woodruff and Garri-
son arrested Bates and Parks in this city,
just as they were about to leave for
Salem. They We're taken to Jail and
locked up.
That the firing of the beer place was of
incendiary origin, no one disputed at the
time.
Just when the hearing in the case is to
be has not yet been determined, but it
will be in day or two.
If the authorities can bring in evidence
the facts which led up to the arrest, there
will be serious case presented against
the defendants. There is one witness
who is decidedly important and he tells
story that bears the impress of truth,
and is certain to implicate Bates very
strongly.
The officers are still working upon the
case, and it is expected that there will be
further developments of sensational
nature.
