'.Fsrebug'' i'm Tcrry-Deliberatc Plan
TO Burn Entire Town Discovered
Mattress Saturated with Kerosene
and Ignited in Old Cabin.

1t Is believed that Terry harbors a
~"firebug' who is determined to de-
stroy the town. The first attempt in
what is believed to be a deliberate plan
to burn the town was discovered n
night last wee when parties passing
the most narrow point on Main street
noticed a suspicious blaze in u cabin
formerly occupied by a celebrated
Black Hills character known as
"Crookneck ohm
Investigation showed that an old
mattress was on fire. The interior of
the cabin fairly reeked with the odor
of kerosene, which apparently had
been thrown against the walls and
foo before the mattress was set on
fire. BY hard work the blaze was ex-
tinguished before the flames had
reached adjoining buildings. The rea-
son why the ''firebug' should wish to
destroy Terry is a mystery.

Autopsy en- Victim OF Charles City
~. ..#.. att,


Mob.
The verdict of the cororer's jury In
the case OF James Cullen, he wealthy
contractor Il vas iyncaed at Charles
city, Ia., Wednesday night tor the
murder OF his wife and stepson. is 70
the effect that he came to his death by
hanging at the hands OF parties UNI
known to the jury.
The autopsy revealed that Culien's
brain showed degeneration and that
there were traces of adhesions. This.
1t is declared, would have saved him
from the gallows and caused him to
have been sent TO the asylum.
Judge Kelly called the grand jury in
az aoon and gave it special instruc-
tons. He said:
rs you have doubtless heard, dur.
ing last night an act was committed in
this city of homes that will forever be
a stain upon Charles City and Floyd
county. During the times when this
court was In session and while the
grand Jary was actually investigating
a charge against a man who was in
the custody of the sheriff, locked in
the jail of this county, and who was
legally entitled to the full protection
of the laws of Iowa, n lawless mot
forcibly broke into Jail and in cold
blood dragged their helpless victim to
a public bridge in the center of the
town in a public street and murdered
him.
THE crime of which James Cullen
was accused and which was doubtless
committed by him, pales into ~insignifi-
when compared with the delib-
crate act of an organized mob.
You now have nothing to do with
the guilt or innocence of Cullen. His
case is in the hands of God. But he
was murdered, gentlemen. and every
person who actively participated in
the act or who aided and abetted 1t is
equally guilty of murder, and upon you
rests the duty of taking the first steps
to wards bringing his murderers to jus
tice. I enjoin upon you the perform
anc of this duty without fear or favor
in accordance with your oaths. You
can retire. and 1 direct you to make
a full report in this matter"
