The Heme of Mr.. w. ID. Jones i'm
Cedar Creek Township Burned

The Heme of Mr.. W. ID. Jones in
Cedar Creek Township Burned
About O'CLOCK last Wsdns sdav
morning the home of Mr.. w. d.
Jones near Camp Creek Church
was burned, together with most
all of his househt Id effects. Mr..
and Mrs. Jones we're spending the
night with relatives in Lancaster,
having left Il brother and uiece
at home with the children. When
discovered nearly one whole side
OF the building was ablaze. and it
was scarcely possible to save any
furniture from the building. Two
feather beds was very near all
that was saved. A great many
things that were dropped out at
windows were burned before they
could he movsd. The clothing
was all lost-even to the clothing
which the children had worn that
day. The supposition at first
seems to have been that the fire
was accidental and that it origina
ted in the cook room but a subse-
quent event led to tho belief that
it was incendiary. The following
night, Mr.. Jones' brother was
sleeping in another building on
the placs and shortly after he had
retired, about 8 O'Clock, he heard
some one strike a match outside
the house, in the chinney corner.
He jumped up quickly and grab
hing his gun ran to the window
through which he saw the form of
II man fleeing in the darkness. =
He pulled down on him but just
as he fired the window shutter
which he had pushed open quickly
blew shut, striking the barrel of
the gun and causing him to miss
the fellow.
Mr.. JOnes estimates his loss at
about 81, 900. $500. on the fur
niture and $500 on the building.
He carried insurance in the Ger
man-Anorican Insurance compa-
ny amounting to $600-$30O on
furniture and $500 on building.
