1T WAS MALICIOUS
No Plausible Theory for Yes
terday's Fire
EXCEPT WILLFUL ATTEMPT
Mill and Elevator Building
Almost Total Loss.
EXCEPT WILLFUL ATTEMPT

There were various theories about the
origin of the fire in the Wichita mill and
elevator yesterday morning. There IS
| hardly any doubt that the work was ma
| licious incendiarism. There Is no other
conclusion. The fire was first seen thirty
| feet from where there is any machinery
that might generate heat from friction.
There are no electric wires in the build
ing except to the motor, which is built
on the ground in the base of the elevator
tower on the east side. There has been
no fire in either the mill or the elevator
for a year or more. The mill has not
been in operation and the elevator Is run
by the electric motor.
A gentleman who requests that his
name be not used unless the matter
comes into court and who Is interested in
a transfer line in Wichita, told a repre-
sentative of the Eagle yesterday that
threats of getting even" with the BUSH
ness men who signed the petition for
clearing the bawdy houses of South
Fourth were made to him by a man not
particularly resplendent for moral recti-
tude who claimed to be offended and in
jured by the action Of the council in
renovating South Fourth. Then it Is ad-
mitted as a plausible theory of the fire,
as the threat was made last Friday and
the time getting even limited to three
days. This theory will be worked out in
the investigation of the origin Of the
fire.
Mr.. Green says he cannot in any way
account for the fire except upon the
theory OF righteousness on the part of
someone. There was no fire about the
barn on the West Side, where the first
fire occurred. There was no machinery,
no matches nor anything that would in
any way start a fire. 1t could not have
caught except from fire applied. The mill
fire came while the West Side fire was
full under way. The barn was set on on
the west side where the wind could play
heaviest havoc. 1t is very singular that
the mill fire should start within fifteen
minutes after the last fireman had left
the houses for the West Side. The mill
and elevator are practically a total loss
The fire department kept the water going
on the smouldering spots nearly all day.
1t looked at one time as if the building
west would go and also Jake Eckert's
restaurant. The heat was so intense that
the glass in the fine windows of the KEEL
logg newspaper building was cracked.
The West Side fire was hot enough to
burn a telegraph pole across the street.
The fire boys had a long seige Of 1t,
working at their hardest from o'clock
until about 8. Gerald Volk went to Eek
ert'S restaurant and gave the whole force
carte blank, and the boys slipped over
when the fire was under control and one
at time got breakfast.
