 The weather conditions were rough last night and in the early hours it looked as if we were going to have a regular old fashioned sleet storm. It rained, hailed and the wind hustled about at speed that was terrific.

But considering the severity of the storm very little damage was done in this part of the state.
 The police and fire departments are convinced there is firehug in this city and apparently his efforts are centered on Italians. There is no question but what the fire in Wards Flats and that in the Willinger block Saturday evening were of incendiary origin. The police are endeavoring to get q line on the fire fiend but they have little or no clues to work on. It Is no small matter to run down q fire hug of this kind.
