DAUGHTER HIRED
TO SET FIRE TO
OWN HOME
COnfesses She Was Bribed by
Business Rival
500 AND A HUSBAND
Anna Rosen Of Rutland Arrested on
Charge Of Attempting to 5urn Her
Fathers House.

Rutland, July 19.--The mystery
surrounding the many fires recently
discovered in the Rosen block In
West Rutland was partially cleared
up Saturday when, after six different
fires had been eXtinguished, Anna,
the 13-year-old daughter of Barney
Rosen, owner and occupant of the
block, confessed to setting the fires.
She claimed that John Pifko, who con-
ducts store opposite that of Rosen's
offered her 800 TO set fire to her
fathers property. The child was
placed under arrest by Sheriff e. C.
Fish of West Rutland and taken to
the county Jail. She will be arraign-
ed before a justice today
About Is months ago the store
owned by Rosen in West Rutland was
| destroyed by fire and since that time
| 1t is claimed he has been unable to
get any insurance on either his Fow-
Ter or West Rutland stores. Mr..
Rosen spends most of his time at
the Fowler store, but Mrs. Rosen
lives in West Rutland with the fam
| lily.
During the last few days num-
Der of fires have been discovered by
! the servants of the Rosens Satur-
day Sheriff Z. c. Fish was called to
the house by some of the neighbors
who had become anxious. They said
that six fires had been discovered
and put out during the day and that
they were afraid some one of them
would get a start, before discovered
and burn the place. A careful inves.
tigation was conducted by Sheriff
Fish which finally resulted in his
questioning the daughter, Anna. She
admitted setting the fires and claim
ed that John Pixie had offered her
500 10 set fire to her fathers block.
Mr.. Rosen and Mr.. Pifko have been
bitter enemies and the fact that the
girl claimed she had been hired to
do the deed caused no little comment

two almost miraculous stops
which. while not resulting IN
outs, did greatly retsrd the
progress Of Detroit runners on
the bases.
Both the stops were made
away out on the edge OF the
Grass and with the infieider's
"meat" hand. One OF them
came with a runner on second
who would surely have scored,
had the ball gone through to
the outfield. In this case the
runner was O'leary.
Charlie had a big lead and
made the bag without trouble.
II was obviously impossible
for Perrlng to get the batter
at first base. He did the only
thing possible In the way OF a
play In shooting the ball to Bill
Bradley, who made a quick
lunge, hoping to get o'Leary on
the home side OF the bag.
Charley had gone into the bag
standing up and would have
oVer-run a step nine times out
Of ten but Hu9hle Jennings was
coaching there and, as o'Leary
started TO step over, grabbed
him and held him on the base.
