INTERNAL MACHINE
WAS FOR FARMER

MASON, Mich, Oct. pa miscal-
culation OF a sixteenth of an inch on
the part OF some unknown would-be
incendiary saved the property and
lives OF John Scarlet and family OF
Ingham township and probably those
of one or two neignbors. On entering
his barn Mr.. Scarlet found u quantity
of hay scattered on the floor and a
trail leading TO the NOW. There was
a strong smell of kerosene In the air
and on examination he discovered that
the hay had been saturated with IL.
Turning over the pile OF hay he
brought to light a cunningly devised
internal machine.
The northern part OF Ingham
township and Wheatfield township
have been the scene OF many feuds
and various underhand attempts on the
lives of several farmers.
