No Clue Yet.

Paragould, Sept. 22.-No clew has been discovered which would lead to the disclosure of the id entity of the miscreant who at tempted to fire the residence Of Richard Jackson, forman of the Grand Jury, which recently took up an active warfare against law violators in the interest of reform.
 Mutterings had been heard in certain quarters that an at tempt would be made to get ev- en with some of the men believed to have taken leading part in the suppression of vice which re- suited in a large number of sen sa tional indictments having been re turned, but it was not believ- ed that the covert threats would be put into execution.
 But as the Jackson family was sleeping an incendiary approach ed the house at 2 am. and dash ing oil over portions bf the build ing set a torch against the walls and fled. Before the fire spread beyond small blaze it was dis covered and extinguished.
 Bloodhounds were secured and put on the trail of the firebug. but, the failure of the dogs to pick up a scent leads to the be- lief that the man was mounted.
