FIRE DESTROYS
 SEARCY BUILDING.
Boys Shooting Craps Set Fire To Shavings and Start a
 Big Fire.

Searcy, October 19. The frame building on the north side of court square was discovered to be on fire at 3 o'clock this morn ing. It was owned by John Goad and was rented for a car penter's shop. Before help could arrive the flames had spread to the law office of Roberts 6 Hol- land. The office building was burned to the ground, but the library and furniture were re- moved by the crowd that had gathered. The tank that SUD- plies water for the street sprink- Ter was located between the two buildings. The frame work un- der it burned out, and it fell and was consumed by the fire. The origin of the fire is not known. It is thought that some boys were shooting craps" in the building during the night, and it may have been set on fire by some one carelessly throwing a lighted cigar or cigarette on the floor, or in the shavings on the floor. It may have been set on fire purposely, but if such is the case there is no clew as to who did it. The losses are not cov- cred by insurance.

Gracefully effecting her escape
she rode slowly homeward, with
sickcning feeling of disgust, min
gled with cxultation.
Day after day passed on, and
while outwardly events pursued
their usual course, MabePs plot wa
progressing rapidly.
Indeed it required all her skill
and tact to keep Jack Wingrow il
proper subsection.
But she was equal to the task, ant
once fairly started in the scheme
she experienced a strange, wild
pleasure in duping the infatuated
outlaw.
George had taken his employer
into their confidence and had select.
ed several others whom he knew to
be trustworthy and upon whose aid
he relied at the moment of action.
The outlaw chief had at length
persuaded her, with great apparent
difficulty, to consent to an elope-
ment.
According to their plans, Jack
Wingrow was to appoint himself az
guard upon that particular night.
Only one man was needed at any
time to act as such, for the cabin
was SO strongly built that an en-
trance could scarcely be effected by
force even if undefended.
But with a half score stout fell
lows at hand they could, as they
thought, effectually defy any force
that might be brought against them.
Mabel was to arrive about mid
night and rap lightly upon the door,
Wingrow would open, and then,
mounting their steeds, they were to
leave the cabin to care for itself I'M
til their flight was discovered.
The appointed night came at
length, and all was ready.
Mabel and George, leading their
five companions, fully armed and re-
solved to conquer at all risks, rode
out from the settlement and pro-
ceeded toward the outlaw strong
hold.
The men crept as close to the
door as they dared to, crouching
low down in the shade. Then Ma
bel advanced and gave the signal.
A low voice called her by name,
and as she replied the door opened |
and Jack Wingrow emerged.
"Histl Don't make no noise. The
men are all asleep. Let me- And
he strove to embrace the m. den,
who avoided him and stepped back. |
Like a hungry panther George
Mablie sprang forward.
Without a struggle Wingrow was
thrown down and hastily bound and
gagged.
Then the settlers noiselessly en-
tered the cabin and lighted the
amps until all within was light as
lay.
The heavy slab door leading into
he vault was partially closed and
occurred. Three men took their sta
ions beside the entrance with club
,ed rifles, while Others stood with
eady revolvers commanding the
doorway.
Then George set up loud cry of
Fire.
The desperadoes hocked to the
ntrance, and one after another fell
ike logs, while the young herder
ontinued his cries. !,
A wagon was procured, and the -.
risoners were taken to the settle
1ent, where the next day they were
ried and condemned to death.
