attended by loss of life or serious injury

attended by loss of life or serious injury
to any one is remarkable
Now that it is all over some ugly
facts are coming to light. How the or
iginal fire started is a mystery, but 1T
is almost certain that at least one OF
the later outbreaks was of incendiary
origin. This was in the Scoville House.
a historic hostelry recently remodeled
at an expense of $4,000. The hotel
faced the city green and was next door
to the city hall. 1t was not in the path
of the original fire and its catching from
sparks is an impossible theory. as the
blaze was started in the billiard room,
which had been closed all day.
In addition TO this many cases of rob-
berry are being reported. After the fire
was we'll under way all lights in the
business section were out and the may
or ordered out the local militia compa-
MES to guard property. In spite of this,
however much valuable booty was car
ried away by robbers.

prominent Pittsburg attorney to en-
gage his services. Her father Is said to
be quite well-to-do and as her par
