to the wstchful eye and prompt action
OF Will. Campbell and his fireman that
he did not suffer a serious loss by fire
early Saturday morning. says the Glea-

running down the yards with his engine
and happened 10 note a blaze In the
front part OF the building which Ia being
reconstructed and after giving the fire
alarm hastened over TO lind "a IRE OF
tissue paper aud fine wood which had
been soaked with coal oil and built
against the partition put up for the tenn
porary protection Of the stock. They
quickly extinguished the fire before very
much damage was done, but ten minutes
later would have rendered the situation
very serious. The da tardly villains who
are responsible for the crime should be
discovered and We hope they will be. Mr..
Kennedy says he will pay $500 to the
party giving information leading to the
arrest and conviction Of the villain or
Villains. Ii has been suggested that per-
haps the hObOs who had been disturbed
Friday night may have been the guilty
parties, but we are inclined 10 a different
opinion. Mr.. Kennedy seems 10 catch II
all around from hold.ups. burglars and
the riot OF the gang OF toughs.
