Muncie, Ind, Jan. 5.-The strikers
and strike sympathizers we're held in
check on all the downtown streets to-

How London Was Hoa.ed.

In 1850 one OF the most success
full and perhaps the least harmful OF
all fools hoaxes was perpetrated. A
complimentary card was sent out In
viting the public to an entertainment

..... WHITE LIONS. -. -.
On the 1st APRIL. at Twelve pre-
cisely.
Admitted only at the WHITE GATE.

an uproar, and cabmen made small
fortunes. "The better the day the
better the deed" Doubtless II was
because the trick was played on
Sunday that II proved the most sue

went away convinced of the reality

FIRE BUG AT WORK
Say Navarro Authorities-Four Barns
Are Burned In Two Months.
No Ciew to Cause Of
EIrAa

Navarro, o., Jan. 5.-The large barn
belonging to Victor Hug on Wooster
street, was totally destroyed by fire a,
o'clock last night. The loss is esti.
mated at $1,000.
The blaze was discovered by the res.
idents of that vicinity but not until
II had gained considerable headway.
riedly notified and assisted by the citl.
zens who formed bucket brigade
they attempted to save the building.
Their efforts availed nothing and In
less than half an hour the big barn
was reduced to heap of ashes. No
live stock was kept in the barn but n
great quantity of pine shingles stored
there we're consumed.
II is almost q certainty that the or.
lgln OF the fire is incendlary. During
the past two months four of the lars-
est barns OF this village have been
burned under almost exactly the same
circumstances. The same mysterious
origin surround the destruction of each
of the other barns and the local police
authorities are bafiled in their efforts
to locate the alleged flrebug. Each OF
the other barns burned in the past two
months caught fire on Saturday
night, at almost precisely the same
hour and so carefully have the plans
for their destruction been laid that
all efforts to extinguish the flames
have been useless. The authorities
are convinced that professional fire
bug ls operating in this vicinity but as
yet they have failed to assign motive
for the acts.

The fact that two well known ladies
Of this city have had exciting expert
ences with burglars within a period
OF few days, has caused somewhat
OF sensation here. Mrs. Hattie Hart

screams of her daughter and herself
caused the men to leave but not until
they had struck and choked her severe

Work Of Sand Dunes.

II is stated that along the Lin
