made to capture them. but they stoo6

Fiend for Revenge Widow Drenches
Seven Horses with Kerosene and
Sets Them ON Fire.

Chicago, Dec. 3O.-Upon evidence in
the possession of the fire department
Stephen Gorrick is under arrest at the
West Chicago avenue police station i'll
connection with the burning of a barn
and seven horses at 295 Branch street
Christmas night. AS result of the
investigation made by the fire depart
ment it is charged that kerosene oil
was poured over the backs OF the
horses and fired by fiend, who, it is
believed, sought revenge upon the wild
owed owner of the horses and barn.
The evidence in the possession OF the
authorities is horrible in it's detail. For
cruelty tie crime has no equal in the
annals OF the fire investigators records.
When the tiremen responded to the
alarm of fire at Mrs. Dooley's barn,
the structure had been damaged by
blaze that they at once declared to
have been of incendiary origin. The
seven horses, securely tied in their
stalls, We're standing, their backs blaz-
