|NCEND|ARISM IS SUSPECTED
GROCERY STORE CATCHES FIRE
IN VERY PECULIAR MANNER.
Second Blaze Within Short Time-Ten
Chickens Meet Death in the
Flames,

To all appearances an attempt was
made by unknown persons last night to
burn the grocery store owned by Nc
Intire Brothers, on the corner of Main
and Third streets. last night.
About $40 last night flames were dis
covered in the back room and the fire
department. was summoned. The fire was
eXtingushed with slight damage to the
building, and upon investigation it was
supposed that the fire originated from
gasoline which overflowed the floor from a
pipe which extended to the gasoline tank
outside of the building. The gasoline tank
stands about seven feet from the end
of the back room. and pipe extends from
the tank into the room. The faucet on
this pipe is near the window, and the
proprietor of the store said last night
that the only way he could account for
the fire was that some one had broken
this window, turned on the faucet and
then thrown match into the room.
There was no fire about the store to-
day" said Mr.. McIntire, "and 1 can't i'm
agine any other way for it TO have start
ed. The previous fire started in much the
same place, near the gasoline tank l am
sure l know of no one who has any mo-
tive for such deed, but one thing is evil
dent, and that is that some person must
have started the fire. We closed up about
7:3O tonight. and everything was all right
at that time
Ten chickens that occupied a coop
the rear of the store met death in the
fire and by suffocation.

IS RESTRAINED
FROM BUILDING
Injunction Issued Against S.B.
Amidon by Court
TECHNICAL P0IN IS UP
Was Preparing to Put Up Ten
Story Building.

In the district court yesterday after
noon at 2:3o o'clock, a temporary injunc-
ton was granted by Judge Wilson, re-
straining s. 3. Amidon from constructing
a brick building on some lots on North
Main street of which he is the owner.
The argument of the case will be heard
trict court, and Mr. Amidon, at that
time must show cause why a permanent
injunction shall not be issued The fine
legal points involved in the case, are
technical in the extreme, and the argu-
ment promises to be very interesting.
Col. Amidon had planned the erection of
a ten story building on these lots, the
ground floor was to be occupied by a
retail soda fountain and the other stories
will be divided into flats, suites and busi-
ness offices.
He had his plan all made and the
architect had submitted his foundation to
a board of experts who had determined
that it was sufficiently strong to bear the
structure
The work was ready to be undertaken
and Mr.. Amidon had just entered the
Western Union Office TO order his steel
work when a copy of the injunction was
served upon him.
It was stated in the affidavit that Mr.
Amidon's title was defective. An exam
ination Of the abstract showed a perfect
title to the lots forty feet below the cur
face and 81 feet toward the zenith. but the
affiiant made oath that above that point
Mr. Amidon had no color Of title, hence
the injunction.

CHANGE IN PLANS.
Cleveland and Pattie Lines to Be
Opened at Same Time.

Within two weeks, be n the Pattie
and Cleveland avenue car lines will be in
operation said Superintendent W. r.
Morrison last night.
The above announcement makes
change in the original plans for putting
the Cleveland avenue line into operation
II was at first intended TO put cars in
service on that branch just as soon as
the new double track on East Douglas
avenue was installed. That work is very
nearly completed, and according TO The
original plans the Cleveland avenue line
would have been put in operation perhaps
Saturday.
The reason il was decided to begin run
ming cars on Cleveland avenue first was
due to the belief that the Pattie avenue
line could not be finished inside of four
or five weeks. Material which has been
ordered. ii was thought, could not reach
here soon necessary in the building Of the
line; hence the original plans.
II has been learned since that the ma
terial viii soon be here and now the su-
perintendent IS planning on starting the
two new lines simultaneously.

BODY OF UNKNOWN
FOUND NEAR UDALL
lNppearances Show Man Com.
b d mitted Suicide
THROAT CUT TWO PLACES

Pocket Knife.
THROAT CUT TWO PLACES

With a bloody pocket-knife clutched
tightly III his right hand and his throat
cut in two places, the body of a we'll
dressed man, apparently about thirty
years of age, was found three miles this
side of Sdan yesterday. partially con-
cealed in tile eewer beneath Santa Fe
cuivert
The body was discovered by three boys
about l o'clock. Coroner Cooper, of Win
field was notified and arrived on the
Scene about two hours later. The body
was taken to Udall, and lies now in an
undertaking establishment at that place.
Thus far the identity of the dead body
has not been learned. In the cothes was
found SIS in money and a letter. The lat
ter Coroner Cooper took possession Of and
returned TO his home at Winfield He
told the marshal at Udall that he would
wire the writer of the letter and ascer-
tain if the dead man was a relative.
The Eagle, in an effort to learn the
identity of the dead man, telephoned Win
field last night, but il said that Coro-
ner Cooper had taken the train for Bur-
Q den- Burden was also communicated
{ with, but the coroner could not be found.
IT is supposed that the address on the let
itsler found in the mans clothes bore his
itlsssaae
Ne Murder was the first theory advanced
by the coroner when he was called to the
scene where the body was found. On dis
covering the $25 in the mans clothes. and
taking other appearances into considera-
tion, however. he came to the belief that
the man committed suicide.
When the body was found nothing but
a portion of the legs and feet of the man
were visible sticking from the tile sewer.
When the body was drawn from its posi-
ton, it presented a terrible sight. The
clothes were bloody. as also was the
ground in that vicinity. The man had
cut his throat. evidently, first on one side
and then on the other.
The knife was small affair." and of the
kind that can be purchased at a hardware
- store for 10 or 15 cents. The man had
evidently cut his throat before entering
the sewer, as there was hardly space
when the body was once inside for the
man to move about.
The dead man is described as being six
feet and one inch tall He was dressed
in tailor-made suit of clothes and wore
O stiff hat. The latter article was found
on the ground beside the body. His hair
was of an auburn color, as also was his
nnustache, which was short and stubby.
His face was covered by a several days
growth of beard. 1t is thought that he
was about thirty years of age.
From all appearances the body had lain
in the position in which it was found at
least several hours. The coroner thought
life had been extinct al least an hour.
Owing to the cuts in the mans throat not
being at all large, it is thought that at
least an hour must have passed for him
to bleed to death, during which time he
must have suffered terribly. Unless rela-
tives of the man are located the body will
be buried in Udall at the expense of
Cowley County
