FIRE AT BAY AND WHITAKER.
Looked Like an Incendiary's Work
Under the BIuf.

Nhuer the Blum.
At $3.50 o'clock this morning an alarm
of fire from box No. s called the entire fire
department down to Bay and Whitaker
streets.
The fire was located in a warehouse on
River street, at the foot of Whitaker, be-
longing to the Neal-Aillard Company, and
the alarm was turned in by Waterman
Falvey.
When the department arrived number
of barrels of cement in the lower part OF
the warehouse was found burning. The
fire had made little progress and was put
out in short order.
The doors of the warehouse were found
open and the lock gone. These doors were
tried just before l o'clock by the police
man on that beat and were locked. This
leads 20 the conclusion that the fire was
of incendiary origin.
