running fire, in quick succession they
ignited, flared at a height, and then
collapsed in great dust of sparks
which were carried on to the row OF
little buildings.
Two men, Frank Comfy. a salesman.

under arrest, suspected of knowing
the cause of the fire. They had been
seen passing in an out of the frame
