Nils Nilsson Held on
Charge Of Triple
incendiariSm.
CRIME OCCURRED IN GRAFTON.
Tried to Burn Employers
House Three Times in
One Night.

Westboro, Nov. 15.-Nils Nilsson, a
Swede, employed as a farm hand and
fireman at the farm of Edgar S. Brig
ham Of Grafton. was lodged in the lock-
up this afternoon by officer William
A. Wagner on the charge of incendiar-
ism. 1t seems that on the evening of
the Sth of November Nilsson tried to
burn his employer out of house and
home
He made three attempts that night,
it is said. About II o'clock he went in
to the basement of the house to fix the
furnace, which was one of his duties.
After he had left the building, one of
the inmates who slept over the fur
mace room heard a cracking below and
went to investigate the cause. Upon
entering the engine room he smelt
smoke and discovered the blaze in a
corner
A spruce board some old rags and a
piece of carpet were saturated with
kerosene and placed on a coal heap
ana lighted. The fire was put out.
About o'clock in the morning a night
Waterman employed on the farm of
John b. Inches, nearby resident, saw
nlaze in the L part of the house and
fired off his revolver to attract atten-
ton. He succeeded in awakening Mr.
Taylor, employed by Mr.. Brigham, who
got up and put this blaze out. Mr..
Taylor suggested that a further search
be made for more fire and another
blaze was soon found on the cellar
stairs.
Mr. Brigham notified State Fire
Marshal Robert Mott of Worcester who.
in company with Deputy Fire Marshal
Joseph Shaw of Boston, went to the
residence of Mr.. Brigham and made
the evidence pointed strongly and al
most conclusively to Nilsson. The
strongest piece of evidence against the
accused was that the piece of carpet
ing which was found in the first fire
belonged to Nilsson, having been given
to him by Mrs. Brigham to put on the
floor of his room The prisoner is
stubborn and refuses to talk on the
matter. He will be arraigned in court
here tomorrow morning.

Westboro Factory Girls I'm
able to Flirt Through
Whitewashed Windows.

Westboro, Nov. 15.-The employees of
a Westboro underwear factory are in
dignant at the action of the manage
ment in withdrawing the windows on
the front of the factory.
All the front side windows of the room
occupied by the underwear company
were whitewashed yesterday by order
of the management, and the girls are
thereby effectually stopped from rub
bering' out on the street below.
Some of the girls told a reporter that
the only diversion they had from their
work was to go to the window OCCASION
ally and rubber" the passengers as
they came from the depot of the B. e.
A. railroad. They said as their work was
very monotonous and more or less a
strain on the eyes this served somewhat
to relieve the monotony of the day.
Now the windows have been white
washed. and all this has been stopped,
and they must stay at their machines
and do their rubbering elsewhere.

s sa New and Original Advertising.

1t is interesting to watch the new
ideas always TO be found in the adver-
Using of Hoods Sarsaparrilla. The
present line OF advertisements is espe-
cially unique, each beginning with a
familiar proverb and leading up to the
good qualities of this famous medicine.
The argument in every case is clinch-
ed by condensed testimonials from peo-
pie the medicine has cured. 1t is gra-
tifyipg to see the continued success of
an article of genine merit. While 9TH
er preparations come to the surface
and after short time disappear,
Hoods Sarsaparrilla has steadily main
tanned its place in public confidence.

temporary.

however, nearly s1 the mem bers of the
Texas congressional delegation have
at one time and another besieged the
war department with the demand that
the department of Texas be re-estab-
listird.
Representative Slaydeu took an es-
pecISl interest in the matter while
congress was in session and obtained q
promise to II as soon as 1t was practi-
cable the department wOu be re-es-
tatl ISL ed.
Not long ago Senator Culberson had
l-ngthy conference with Secretary
Tiger about the matter and the secre-
r.ry promised the senator that he
would bring the matter up with the
president at the earliest possible day.
The result Is the decision to re-estab-
llsh the department at once, or just as
soon as the details can be perfected.
