Burglars came very near causing the
aestructinn by fire of the residence of
n 4, Price, at Newport, early on Fri
Inv morning. The summer residence
II John NJ. Mendinhall, nearby, was
sptqred about the same time, and it is
imposed that the guilty parties are
hs same persons who entered the resi-
iance Of John Z. Oskins, near Folly
Wood, earlier in the morning.
At about 3 o'clock in the morning
ma members of Mr.. Prices family
we're awakened by smelling smoke, and
IN Investigation was begun at once.
I'M, Price hastily went to the first
FOor, where he found a chair burning
md discovered that it had heen set on
fre by candle which was under ii.
The blaze was extinguished and an
Examination of the premises made, as
Il was apparent that burglars had been
bbout. 1t was soon found that they
had effected an entrance by prying a
window open and they had evidently
Ilichtpd the candle SO that they could
Bee what they were about. 1t il be
lieved that they placed it under the
khair so that the light would not at
.net su much attention from the out
kide. II is possible, however. that it
might have been placed there in order
b set the house on fire. So far as
Eoud be learned, nothing of value was
ttoen, and it is likely that the in
Fruders were frightened off soon after
Beginning operations.
With the exception of the burning of
he chair, very little damage was done,
but the discovery WAS made at the
kight time, as in a very few minutes
The house would have been on fire and
be members of the family, Mr.. and
Mrs Price and their three children,
Who were sleeping on the second floor,
might have been burned to death.
4 shutter was also pried off and a
window forced open at the residence Of
Mr. Mendinhall, but nothing of value
Fas stolen. The house is occupied by
the family only in summer time and
Mr.. Mendinhall is preparing to move
ID next week. lt is thought the burglars
Fhere acquainted with the fact that it
vas u summer residence, but evidently
believed the house was occupied.
The intruders visited the pantry and
ansacked it, evidently looking for
omething to eat, but they were dis
|lppointed and left the place before
tiolng much damage to any other part
| the house.
It is believed that the men who are
committing the depredations are ac-
uainted with the houses in and around
Newport.
