From the Kansas City Star.
FORT SCOTT, KAN, August 9.-The
third attempt of incendiaries to des'
troy the town of Moran, place Of
1000 people in Allen county, almost
proved successful last night, eight
business houses being destroyed, with
an estimated loss Of from $4,000 to
100000 The buildings burned were:
The George w. Stevenson department
store, loss, $15, 900; the F. Willoughby
furniture store; the Virginia hotel;
Mrs. Youna's millinery store; the Ross
grain and implement house; Strickler's
restaurant; Frank Young's Office block,
and Meadows restaurant: George w.
Stephenson, proprietor of the depart
ment store, was in Kansas City. He
carried 81, 900 insurance. Other losses
were partly covered by insurance.
For some time the council had had
five special night watchmen on duty
to prevent the burning Of the the town
by incendiaries, who had fired the
bank and another building In the past
few week. There had long existed
hard feelings between some Of the
rough element Of the town and the
business men and the motive is sup
posed to be revenge.

THAYER, KANs, Aug. 9. 1897.
c. S. Nation, Dear Sir: Will you
kindly insert in the columns Of your
paper, little article to rectify mis-
take made by the Daily Derrick, OF
July 3lst, '97. The piece in question
is entitled Another War Cloud" and
relates how Wininger's house was be-
ing searched for stolen watch. There
certainly was watch stolen, but the
genial editor got the wrong pig by the
ear when he laid the blame on inno-
cent parties shoulders. Now, l lost q
watch, and I alone was the one to go
over to Wininger's and ask him'as one
gentleman would Of another, il he had
found it, as report from Thayer sta
ted he had. The party in question
said he had not, but wanted me to
search and be satisfied, and 1 told him
1 did not have a search warrant, and
really had not come for that purpose;
but he persisted and finally went
with him, but finding nothing, went
home. l wished to keep things as
quiet as 1 could, but it seems that such
is not the case, and so, therefore be-
ing a law abiding citizen and wanting
to see justice and right to all parties,
not taking sides one way or another
myself, I felt it a duty to ask you to
print this Trusting am not taking
up too much of your valuable time or
paper, l am sir Yours Resp'y.,
