ton.

grocery store OF Henry Yost, at 1929 18th
street northwest, last night to the amount
of about $500. Two pocketbooks contain
Ing less than 81 were missed from bureau
drawers. and Mr.. Yost believes the house
was robbed and then set afire. Second

case. but have not found anything to show
that the fire was the work Of an incen-
diary.

brought out several companies Of the fire
department. Only one company went into

they returned home. An oil can that is
