Small Fire.

A cry OF fire was sounded Wednes
day evening about 3 o'clock. which was
caused by a small fire in the millinery
establishment of Mrs W. G.. Raymond,
on Main street. For a time a large o
%fiagration, involving Mill"r's dry good
store, was threatened; but the bucket
brigade was promptly on hand and it
was soou smothered. The cause OF the
fire is not definitely known, but circum-
stances have aroused suspician that the
fire was of incendiary origin. There is
a good deal of talk about a business
man of the city in connection with it,
in which we do not take any stock as
we have known the gentleman from his
boyhood and never before heard him
charged with such a heinous offense-
We crave a suspension OF public dis
cussion until he has an opportunity to
prove his innocence.
