A boy with a match and a desire to
see a fire. was the cause of the de-
struction of a barn and two or three
outbuildings back of South Broadway
last evening shortly after six O'Clock.
The structure was owned by Wllllam
Hilton, and the fo~ur-year-old son OF s.
Price, who lives in the house on the
same lot, is supposed to have set the
building on fire. A young o OF E. A.
Specie, who resides in the adjoining
house, claims to have seen the Price
boy running from the barn with a
lighted match in his hand. He ran
in to his fathers home and told him
of what had occurred. He ran out and
attempted to put out the blaze, but to
no avail, and before the fire depart
ment arrived the building was nearly
destroyed. They did good work, how
ever, as the houses nearby were in i'm
minent danger of igniting, and had it
not been for the excellent work would
liekly have been burned also.

in his downward fight maneged to get
