A DfTILISH DEED.
A Belmont County Farmers Entire
Stock Of Grain
Destroyed Early Yesterday Morn
ing by an Incendary Fire-Alex-
ander Ring the Victim Of the Out
rage-The Object Was Revenge

Early yesterday morning the entire
crop of oats and wheat of Alexander
Ring, a farmer residing three miles
above Martins Ferry, was destroyed
by fire OF incendiary origin.
Shortly after midnight Harry Glib
bons. who had been threshing for Mr..
Ring, was aroused from his slumbers
in the Ring home by glare of fire
reflected on the walls Jumping from
bed and running TO the window the
situation was made plain. Two large
stacks Of oats in the yard were burn
ing tierceiy. lie reused the household,
after which a general alarm was given.
1t was then discovered that five
wheat stacks on the Gray-Smith place
were on fire. No attention was paid to
the wheat stacks for IL was seen to
be a useless task TO attempt 10 save
them. Instead all hands worked hard
to keep the stacks in the vicinity OF
the barn from getting too much the
advantage CT them, as the large barn
contained several tons Of hay. Every
building on the place was endangered.
The water III the tank and the hose
pump were effectively used. The great
est danger is over, but the place will
be closely watched until every vesuge
Of the fire has died out.
The fire is positively known to have
been of incendiary origin from the
traces Of oil found about every stack,
and an empty five-gallon oil ca0 which
was almost full the evening before.
Mr. Rings loss will reach $500, posi-
bly, more, for 800 bushels of oats and
about 500 bushels Of wheat were con-
sumed.
The grain on the Gray-Smith place,
amounting to about 500 bushels, was
to have been equally divided between
the owners of the place and Mr.. Ring.
It was sold TO Kentworthy HCge few
dsys ago fer s2y4-'.,,9.;;, ,,.;, hn~ia',i. cen.

The authorities now have the case
in charge and they have a slight clew.
