TRIED TO BURN SALOON.
Incendiaries Plan a Fire at Kays-
vile That Failed.
(Special Correspondence.

Especial Correspondence
Kaysville. Nov. 2S-An attempt was
made at an early hour this morning TO
burn the saloon building of Swan & Co,
on Pine street. The incendiary evidently
planned what he expected would be an
effective attempt. A fire was started on
the outside of a door leading TO the cellar,
where several Thousand dollars worth of
liquor and much combustible material are
stored. The door was first saturated with
coal oil, and so well had the fire done the
work expected of ii at this point that a
hole had been burned through the door,
and when the fire was discovered flames
were at work within two feet of a box
containing straw and other infiammable
stuff A few feet further away was a
coal oil tank, a coal bin and barrel after
barrel of liquor.
Not content with the one attempt, the
incendiary also sprinkled kerosene over
the rear door upstairs. evidently thinking
create draught from below and hasten
the destruction of the building.
When John r. Woclsey discovered the
fire at 7:20 this morning Ii had made such
Roadway that half an hour more would
probably have seen the structure envei-
ooed in flames. The actual loss will not
exceed $50.
The belief is expressed that If the at
tempt had been successful the adjoining
buildings and lumber yards would have
been destroyed. The buildings that would
have been in the most danger are Hyrum
stewards store. granary and lumber
yards. John Barton * Sons furniture
store and the Proudfoot buildings
Who the incendiary is is not known
though certain threats that are said to
nave been made of late against Mr.. Swan
leads that gentleman to strongly suspect
who is the criminal. The threats have
been made in the guiSe of a crusade for
morality and this may be an outgrowth
OF the fight for reform.
