A few days ago, a barn at Small
Point in which were two cows, a horse,
four tons of hay and many farming
implements was destroyed by fire. The
barn was owned by Charles Lockner
of Lynn, Mass, and the contents by
Mrs. Jane McIntire. 1t was believed
that the fire had been caused by an
incendiary and suspicion fell upon
Evans Jewett a II years old boy, who
lived with Richard Blaisdell near by.
Facts pointed so strongly towards him
that, Monday. Sheriff John w. Ballou
drove to Small Point, placed him under
arrest and brought him to Bath. He
admitted his guilt and said that he
was in the barn when young man
named McIntire, son of Mrs. Jane Nc
Intire, came in and they had a row.
He, Jewett, finally started for home,
but feeling revengeful turned back,
went into the barn and touched
lighted match to the hay NOV. He
is not considered fully responsible for
his actions as he is said to be little
weak minded.

avoid overproduction. have graciously
