INCENDIARY FIRE. An attempt was
made Monday night to burn the buildings
of James P. Wight on Lincolnville avenue.
Llewellyn Moore, who drives team for
Mr. Wight, was returning home late in the
evening and discovered brisk fire in a
lumber pile at the back of Mr.. Nights
barn. He called help and the fire was eX-
tinguished before it reached the buildings.
There was fresh southwest wind at the
time and the flames were blowing directly
towards the buildings. Suspicion fell upon
the wife of Moore, and when questioned
closely she acknowledged that she set the
fire. She said she had no grievance against
Mr.. Wight and could give no reason for her
act. She was lodged in Jail that night, and
was arraigned in the Police Court yester-
day and pleaded guilty to setting fire to the
board pile. No charge was made of trying
to burn the buildings. Mrs. Moore said,
after the trial, that her mother, Mrs. Davis,
! came to her house and got a sack, which
she saturated with kerosene, saying she
was going to have bonfire. The two then
went to the board pile. Mrs. Moore lighted
one match, but the material did not take
fire and Mrs. Davis lighted a second, which
burned. This is the fourth fire within
short time of property owned or occupied
by Mr.. Wight: the G. R. Ellis, house, occu-
pied by the Moores; the Emery school
house, which Mr.. Wight had bought for the
Moores to live in; the John Campbell
house, and this lumber pile, and it is prob
able that other arrests will be made. Judge
Rogers ordered Mrs. Moore to give bonds
for $500 for appearance at the September
term of Court She was committed to Jail
in default.
