REWARD OFFERED
 FOR INCENDIARY
UNDERWATER WILL PAY $250 FOR ARREST AND CONVICTION OF PERSON WHO SET FIRE TO RATCLIFF RESIDENCE.

The National Board of Fire Underwrit- CTS has offered a reward of $250 to any one catching and convicting the person or persons who set fire to the residence Of G. B Ratlin on Eleventh avenue, be- tween Eighteenth and Nineteenth streets, on the night of January 12.t
 It will be remembered that the fire spread to two adjoining residences, con- pletely destroyir one and badly damag ing the other. The total loss was some- thing like S20,000. It was believed at the time that the Ratlif house, which had just been completed, was set on fire by incendiaries and an investigation was made afterwards. As result this reward was offered.
 A copy of the circular offering the re- ward was received by Chief of Police Wier yesterday. He has as yet taken no action in regard to it. Yesterday after noon Chief Mullin stated that he had al ways thought the place was set on fire, but that he would rather not express any opinion as to who he thought did it, or his theories concerning it.
 Although the house was about complet- ed, there was builders risk of $5000 car ried on it. and the insurance companies suffered rather heavily.
