ing the day ID. Gree secured an attach
ment on the stock of harness and fixtures
for the sum of $40 due him for rent.
Several new features which prove the
fire I" be Of incenjiary origin have come
t" he front. A lard pail which had con-
tanned coal oil was found in the rear of
the Lind place with a match inside OF the
pail. The boards between the Wonder
hyde shop and the Lind building bears
evidence of the soaking of oil. as they
are still wet with the infiammable oil.

against him and will endsavor to prove
an alibi.

the time mentioned. His daughter, Miss
Hattie, says she played cards with her
father some little time after he returned
home. and they retired at the same hour
and We're both awakened and dressed at
the same time.
Mrs. Dolan, who lives neXtdoor, rushed
to the yard fence when awakened by the
alarm and saw some one coming out of
