HE SAW A LIGHT.
Quick Action Saved the Elevator From
Burninu Down.

Apache. o. T.. Jan. 2.-Monday night
as Tom Watt was returning home from
church he noticed a light in the elevator
says the Review. Thinking at first that
1t came from a lantern and wondering
what any one was doing in the elevator
at this time of night, he went UP to the
door and hallowed to see who was with
in. Receiving no answer he investigated
and found that the building was on fire
He called j. NJ Snapp and Hobart Coon
er to assist him and they went to in
vestigate. They prepared to force the
door when they found that some one had
been there before they in this and it was
open. When they got inside they found
that some one had poured coal oil into
the oat bin and set it on fire. The flames
were extinsushed without serious dam
age but there is no doubt that but for
the timely arrival of Mr.. Watt the des-
truction of the elevator would have been
complete. Who the incendiary was and
what his object could have been cannot
at this writing even be conjectured
