An incendiary fire was discovered
shortly after 5 o'clock Tuesday night at
the Drake q Smith box factory. Paper,
small sticks and shavings saturated with
machine oil, had been placed under the
end of a pile of plank and ignited The
remains of the match with which the
fire was started was found lying on one
of the planks. The planks We're of cak
recently sawed, and the blaze from the
oily material did not catch readily. but
the lumber was within few feet of an
old wooden house used for storage, and
had the fire once communicated with
the dry clapboards the result would have
been disastrous. Mrs. O. j. Cushman,
living nearby, called her husbands at
tention to the fire and he Immediately
extinguished it. The owners of the
threatened property are unable to ac-
count for the fire but presume that il
was the work of some small boys who
wanted to see the hose cart come out.
