ROBBERS BURN A TOWN.
Previous to Applying the Torch Two
Safes Are Cracked.


Safes Are Cracked.
Beaumont, Tex, June 4-Jasper.
the seat of Jasper county, was wiped
off the map by a fire which was started
by robbers to cover up their work and
enable them to escape during the ex-
element. Just before the fire broke
out the safe in the office of the county
treasurer and the postOffiCe safe were
bblown and looted. Other places may
have been robbed, but this cannot be
determined, as the fire removed all
traces of the crime.
With the exception of a few stray
Cling residences, Jasper does not exist.
Every business house and many resi-
dences were destroyed. Flames broke
out at o'clock in the morning. AS
the town had no fire department, the
inhabitants were helpless. The loss
by fire is estimated at 100000. 1t is
not known how much money was stol-
ell from the safes.
McConnellsville, O., June 4.-Fire-
bugs tried to burn McConnellsville by
starting several fires in the business
part of the town. The worst fire in
years resulted, burning Poles livery
stable, Partesius' storage building and
other buildings adjoining. The loss is
very heavy with no insurance.
