While the Pinkerton man and spe-
cial policemen were on duty the paint
er against whom the finger of suspi-
cion was pointed was taken i'll and
had to go to Chicago. He was oper-
ated on in Chicago hospital and died
as the result of the operation.
When the people of Aberdeen heard
of his death they believed that their
troubles were over and the Pinkerton
detective and special policemen were
soon afterwafd relieved from duty.
Almost Immediately another fire

stroyed new warehouse which was
being erected by Macarthur & Son to
replace the one previously destroyed
as the result of the frebug's opera
tions.
This caused an additional loss of
$4,000. Thus the dead painter was
vildicated and it was shown that he
had been unjustly suspected of being
the mysterious incendiary.
A similar mistake may have been
made in the case of the insane woman,
who is now in charge Of the authori-
ties under suspicion Of having started
the numerous fires
Il is hard to believe that a crazy
woman would be shrewd enough, if
guilty of setting the fires, to cease OPP
erations while the Pinkerton detective
and special policemen were on duty,

soon as their services had been dis
pensed with.

and took root in the great heart of
the people, it was felt that the word
festive nature, and that an express
sion more adequately to declare the
solemnity of the occasion and the ma
tons depth of feeling, was required.
Accordingly the word Memorial was
selected as more fittingly expressive
of the survivors conception of what
was due to the memory of the heroic
dead. To this instructive feeling of
the saviors of the union the heart of
the country throbbed sympathetic
response, and Memorial Day, with it's

should be kept as a solemn high day.

INSANE WOMAN is THE FIRDBOG
Over Forty Fires Started at Aberdeen During Period
Firebug HAS Been Workng-Loss Over 100000

While the authorities of Aberdeen
appear confident that they have at last
captured the exceedingly dangerous in
cendiary in the person of an insane
woman, who for several months has
terrorized the residents of that city
and destroyed property to the value
Of considerably more than 100000
there is possibility that the incen.
diary is still at large and that a mis-
take has been made.
Over forty fires, all of incendiary orr
gin, have been set during the period
the firebug has been operating. The
most disastrous was that which de-
stroyed the wholesale farm machinery
warehouse of John Macarthur & Son
entailing a loss of about $4,000.
Among the buildings destroyed was
st. Marks Episcopal church, with a
loss OF $4,000; the Moore furniture
store, with loss of $4,000, and the
Andrew Gerup furniture warehouse, in
which the loss was $4,000. Several
barns, including number Of valuable
horses, were also consumed.
For weeks a painter who had failed
to secure the contract 70 rpainting the
Episcopal church building was suspect
ed of being the incendiary. He be.
came very morose, and this strength.
ened the suspicion that he was the
guilty person.
