Shed Covered With Coal Oil and
Ignited Last Night.
Supposed To Have Been Effort To-
Steal the Ballot Box Which Was
Inside His Residence.
IT WAS NOT SECURED, HOWEVER

II. VI. Smith, democrat, of 1925
Bernheim avenue. was sheriff at
Gallman's precinct yesterday. The
precinct went republican by a vote o:
about 165 to IS.
After the count he took he ballot
box and ballots home and retired.
About two o'clock a cab stopped at
his house and someone knocked and
told him that Judge Berry wanted
to see him down town. He replied
that II Judge Berry wanted to see
him, he could come out there. Judge
Berry was not even IN the city, so
the call is supposed TO have been q
subterfuge to get Mr.. Smith away
from home.
In about another hour someone
else went to his house and called him
10 the door, and was ordered away
for his pains
In short time neighbor arous-
sd HIM and tod him that his coal
house was afre. He locked up the
house, wen6 outside and succeeded in
eNtinguishing the blaze before much
damage was done.
The presence of coal oil on the shed
today shows deliberate attempt 20
