incendiary. All afternoon of the pre-

the depot young man, who appear

much as he has not been seen since,
he is being charged with the crime.
While in conversation with people he
had given various towns as his place
of residence, and to one man he said
that he had just returned from serving
his country IN the Philippines. He
did not reveal his name He is
described as being tall, about five feet,
eight inches, dressed in dark clothes

Charles Johnson, an employee at the

alarm, and in a short time large
crowd had congregeted. All efforts to
save the building were futile on ac-
