And the p. & W. Freight
Depot at the Falls
Was Burned Down Sum-
day Morning.
For Five Years the Falls Has Been
Terrorized by One Person.

Fire started presumably by an in
cendiary, destroyed the L. 4 w. freight
depot at Cuyahoga Falls Sunday morn
ing Ii was discovered in the south
east corner of the buildng,-at 2
O'Clock, by the night operator, Mr.
w. w. Dunn, and at that time the
er parts of the building. The facil-
tiles of the Falls fire department were
inadequate TO the situation, and the
building, a frame structure, was soon
burned down, with all its contents
and seven box cars standing on the
track beside it We're also destroyed.
The loss exceeds $1,000.
In the building We're four car loads
of lumber, designed for use in the
depot to be built at Kent, 70 bags of
fertilizer for Tiff e. Vogan, at the
Falls, and 10 kegs of rivets. Three
of the ears burned were loaded with
merchandise, another was loaded by
the Walsh Paper Co., with paper bags,
one contained empty nail kegs for the
Falls Rivet & Machine Co., another
was loaded with nails by the same
company, and one was empty.
The depot was frame building,
3OX50, and two stories high. 1t was
built 80 years ago, and its first use
was rs an elevator. 1t fronts on
Portage ST., directly opposite the Z. &
w. passenger depot
This was the sixth time the depot
had been fired by an incendiary, and
the State Eire Warden will be asked
to assist the company in apprehendlng
the person WHO has done the work.
The F. Il W. detective, H. b. Fowler,
of Youngstown came to Cuyahoga
Falls Sunday forenoon and began an
Investigation. 1t Is no mere theory
on the part of the company that the
work is that of an inccndiary. In
each case, kindling and waste have
been found burning-in a corner, when
the fires have been discovered. The
first attempt was made three years
ago and the second six months later.
In the third attempt the building was
fired twice, within an hour, in one
night. \ year ago fire was discover.
ed in the same corner in which it
was started Sunday morning. The
last start had gained too much head
way before being discovered to per-
nit investigation into its cause, but
the circumstances are such as war
rant the belief that the work has all
been done by one person.
1t is also believed il was done by
the same person who started the fire
which destroyed the wareroom of the
Walsh Paper Co, a couple of weeks
ago, and who fred the flour mill of
Howe & Co., only IL few nights later.
This person is also accredited with all
the incendiary fires that have dis
tressed Falls citizens during the past
five years,
Officials claim to have no clew by
which the person who did the work
may be apprehended, but is also
claimed that strong suspicious are
held. An organized and persistent
effort will be made to run down the
fiend, and in doing so, the State au-
thorities, officials of the company, and
village will combine forces.
