FIRE AT SHIPYARDS
lncendiary Builds Fire Under the Pat
tern House of the Company.

What was evidently an attempt to set
fire to the pattern shop building of the
". r. Trigg Co.'S shipyards was made
yesterday morning. The fire was dis
covered about $40 o'clock, under the
floor at the building, in time to extin-
guish it before much damage was done
The alarm was sounded and the Fire De
partment responded promptly. but there
was no need for their service as the
blaze had been extinguished by the en-
ployes of the company.
It was evident the fire was of incen-
diary origin. as in no other way could q
blaze from beneath the building be ac-
counted for. The fire was evidently
kindled by some person who had crawleG
under the building for that purpose.
The damage was trifing. This was
the second fire at the yards in the last
week. the first having caught from the
furnace in the angle house. Sunday
morning. Little or no damage resulted
then.

the gentieness that characterized this

trayed them, and attempted to lead
them into an ambush. from which
they escaped only through the vigi-

lie next morning the treacherous
guide was tried by a court mar
tial and sentenced to immediate
execution. A priest was summoned.
and the unhappy guide was told to
prepare for execution. As the priest
was praying for the condemned man

a convenient place. got a picture. As
he came back he saw ten. Lawton

gized for having ventured to take the
