DID YOUTHS BURN DEPOT?
FIVE WE'RE SEEN TRYING TO
BURN TRINITY CHURCH.
PUT BURNING PAPER UNDER 1T
Three Girls and Two Boys, Apparent.
ly About Thirteen Years Of Age,
Were Seen Trying to Set Building
Afire at 9-Wind Blew Out Flames.

Afire at 9-Wind Blew Out Flames.
Was the Northwestern railroad de-
pot, which burned during the night,
set afire by three young girls and
two young boys, about thirteen years
of age?
This is the question which naturally
follows the discovery, a couple of
hours before that fire, of Quintette of
young girls and boys who placed light
ed bits of paper beneath the steps of
the Trinity Episcopal church and at
tempted, it was supposed, to burn
that edifice. When seen the youths
scampered away. This morning the
bits of paper were still underneath the
church, where the wind had blown
out the flames and saved the fire.
Whether or not these same five later
set the depot afire, is not known, but
the circumstances indicate that, in all
events, such a thing is not impossible.
Mrs. Hahn, who lives with her pa
rents, Mr.. and Mrs. Satterly on South
Eleventh street, was an eye witness
to the attempt to burn the Trinity
church. Mrs Hahn was walking home
along Madison avenue at about 8
o'clock and when she approached the
church corner she noticed a party of
young boys and girls at the corner,
with burning paper in their hands.
They tucked the burning paper under
the steps, that it might catch fire, and
then, when they saw her coming, they
ran hurriedly away. She says that
there were three girls and two boys
and that they were about thirteen
years of age, she judged from their
size.
This morning, upon investigation, it
was found that the burned bits of
paper were still lying under the steps
and that the wind had evidently blown
out the flame. 1t was about two hours
later, at II o'clock, when the CreiSh-
ton depot was found to be on fire.
