INCEND|AR|ES BURN
FARMERS PROPERTY
Pour Oil on Roofs of House and
Barn Near Princeton.

Princeton, Ind, Aug. 10Unknown
parties climbed to the roof of the resi-
dence of William McAtee, a wealthy
farmer, ten miles north of here, last
night, poured coal oil over the roof
and fired it; then went to the barn,
led out the horses and tied them to
a fence. The house being then we'll
ablaze, they rang the farm bell and
knocked on the doors and aroused the
inmates after which they fled.
Persons returning late from church
met the supposed guilty parties driv-
ing north in a closed carriage at break
neck speed. They aroused neighbors
and gave pursuit for Is miles, but fin
ally lost the trail.
Nothing was saved from the house or
barn. The loss Is heavy.
McAtee knows Of no enemies. He
is known as verysclose in his dealings,
and some advance the theory that this
may have led to the vengeful deed.

THIRD PRIMARY To BE
Held FRIDAY, AUG. II

BY order of the Board of Mayor and
Aldermen, at meeting held this
morning primary election has been
called for next Friday, July nth, for
the purpose of electing an alderman In
Ward 8, the second primary having
resulted in tie vote between Messrs.
j. Moore and W. {. Young, all parties
preferring to have the selection made
by direct vote of the people rather
than leaving 1t to be decided by lot.
II IS sincerely hoped and urged by both
the two candidates and the citizenry
at large that every voter in that ward
turn out on next Friday and vote. In
addition to Ward 3, a ticket will be
placed in the field for Ward which
was allowed to 60 by default in the
previous primaries by the fact that
every one whose name was handed in
to the committee refused to serve. 1t
is understood that the parties whose
names will appear on the ticket this
time will serve, If elected, to prevent
possible undesirable contingencies that
might arise should the place be left
vacant until the gneral election. It is
strictly up to the voters of Ward I to
appear and vote on next Frid-y. 1t is
an imperative duty that no one can
conscientiously shirk. The election
officers of the past primaries have been
appointed to hold the el ,ction nextFri-
