THREATENED TO KILL HUSBAND.
After Running Away with Haskell's Wife
Logan Wanted to Finish the Job.

Officer McGrath arrested man last
night on Monument street after rather
exciting experience with him. The
mans name is Frank Logan and his ar
rest was occasioned by the complaints of
Fred W. Haskell, whose life Logan had
threatened to take.
AS the story was told by the police
Mrs. Haskell who is about twenty -four
years old and the mother of three chill
dren, the oldest about seven years, ran
away some weeks ago from her husband
and comfortable home in this city and
went to Lewiston to live with Frank
Logan. She took her children with her
and after time one of them became i'll
and as Logan could not seem to supply
enough money to make the child comfor.
table Mrs. Haskell wrote to her husband
in this city and asked him to send her
enough money to take care of the child.
Mr.. Haskell responded to this appeal in
person, went to Lewiston and brought
his wife and children back to Portland.
After living here a short time Mrs. Has
ksll again ran away from home and went
back to live with Logan.
In the meantime Mr.. Haskell went to
board on Monument street and there
Logan found him last night, and being
quarrelsome and little intoxicated
threatened to kill Haskell This was how
Officer McGrath came to be called into
the case. McGrath went to the house,
and as he got to the door heard voices in
angry conversation within. The officer
stood at the door moment when sudden
1y man wrenched it open from within
and ran out on to the street. This was
Logan, and Officer ,McGrath pursued
him, and after quite chase succeeded
in capturing him. Logan tried to get
away and began to put up show of
fight, when Officer McGrath got tired of
wrestling abont the street with the man
and hit him several blows with his fist
The result was that Logan became as
passive as lamb and consented to re-.
main quietly on the ground until the
patrol wagon reached the spot. But Off
GER McGrath had a badly sprained hand
as a result of the row and it will trouble
him for some time.
The police do not know just what
charge will BIZ preferred against Logan,
but he will appear in court this morning
without doubt.

WORK OF TRAMPS.
Barn On Hersey Street, Deering, De-
stroyed BY Fire.

Two Alarms From Box Five Brought Out
Whole observation-disclosures Adjourned
Saved-Loss About $1,000.
Two alarms from box 8, in Deering,atl
1915 O'Clock this morning, called the
whola Deering fire department. to near
the corner of Hersey and ocean street,
where big barn owned by the Jersey
Eeirs was blazing fiercely.
The fire was discovered by William
Woodfords who lives on Ocean street, not
far away from the barn. He ran to the
nolice station at Woodfords and notified
Officer Mountfort who pulled in the alarm
from box 5. The engineer of special
freight train on the Portland q Roches-
ter which was standing at the Woodfords
station at the time, awoke many OF the
people in the vicinity by sounding the
locomotives whistle many times in rapid
succession. When Chief Frank Moody
of the Deering department. reached the
spot, he had the second alarm turned in
as the IRE threatened to destroy the house
of John K. Parks on Ocean street, which
was only about % feet distant from the
burning barn. The barn was filled with
hay and other infiammable material and
burned like finder box, and the firemen
could not do much at first in the way OF
getting the flames under control. The
ell of Mr.. Parks house was badly
s,orched, but did not catch fire, though
had the wind been as strong as it was
elrlier In the evening it would have
been still harder work to have saved this
house. The Deering firemen had several
fine hydrant streams at work and sue
ceeaed in saving the Parks house, but
the barn was entirely destroyed.
Mr.. Wilbur F. Trask, the artesian we'll
digger, whose residence is just below
this barn on Hersey street, had stored
In. the barn several valuable machines
which he uses in his business. 1t was
reported that one of these machines was
valued by MIR. Trask as high MS $4,000
and was not insured. The machinery
will undoubtedly prove total loss. The
barn itself was not very valuable and
probably thousand dollars will cover
the whole loss on the structure sand it's
oOSSoLto VI uuc 4lldCn4AcIy WAlGu
was stored therein. 1t could not be
learned last night whether or not. the
building was insured. Mr.. Trask was
not at home, having been called to Bruins.
wick yesterday on business.
1t seemed to be the universal opinion
among the people at Woodfords that the
ire was caused BY tramps. The police
station at Deering was overrun with
hoboes last night and many others were
turned away. The. fire undoubtedly started
In that part of the barn insswhich the
hay was stored and some careless hobo
was undoubtedly the cause of it. Mr.
Parks residence narrowly escaped de-
struction, and Chief Moody and his men
are to be congratulated on their work in
saving this building.
