FIREBUG AT

Tyndall, S.. D., June 2s.-The au-
thorities Of this place are firmly
convinced that the town has
among it's population a firebug who
seems determined to destroy the town
by fire. Within a brief space moro
than a dozen attempts have been made
to burn buildings on the principal bust
ness street.
The most recent attempt was the set
ting fire to a building occupied by the
photograph gallery OF B. w. Burnett
and the music store of f. A., Smith.
When the ffremen arrived on the scene
the interior of the structure was a
mass OF flames and the fire was shoot
ing through the roof. By hard work
the fremen succeeded in preventing the
flames spreading to adjoining buildings.
1t is the universal opinion hat the fire
was of incendiary origin, several prior
attempts having been made to burn
the same structure.
Thus far the frebug has covered his
tracks very shrewaly, but a suspected
party is being watched, and if another
attempt is made to set fire to buildings
an arrest will result.
