On last Thursday night some bastard
went into the field on The "Clark
place" which is rented by 1sreal James,
and burned up 55 bushels of corn and
56 two horse wagon loads OF hay and
fodder. That the fire was the work of
an incendiary there is no doubt, as the
signs of kerosene oil were distinct the
next morning. There is a strong sus-
picion pointing to a source and steps
have already been taken tc ferret out
the devil incarnate who would, under
the cover of night commit such q foul
deed to crafty a revenge. Murder
will out, and so viii crime of this
character. No community can afford
to tolerate a man be he white or black
whose heart is so black that he can
crafty his revenge with torch. If
the evidence is obtained every means
known to the law will be used to rid
this community of such character,
and we can say further, clue has been
obtained.
