the fire which occurred in the home
of NJ. f. Rickard early yesterday
morning. an investigating jury COM
posed of w. B. Graham, John Il.

Cartwright.
The jury visited the house yester-
day afternoon and examined the in-
terror carefully. Later, at the city
hall. several witnesses We're exam
ined.
Findings OF the jury may be sum
med up as follows: The parlor and
dining room were the only rooms
damaged by the flames. From all
appearances the fire started in a
davenport near the folding doors, as
the most damage was done in this
section of the room. The testimony
of witnesses indicated that some par
ty or parties entered the house after
midnight, while Mr.. and Mrs. Rick
ard were at the Boosters dance. and
threw kerosene on the carpets in the
parlor. dining room and front bed
room and then set fire to the daven-
port, expecting the flames to spread
rapidly and destroy the house and
contents before the fire department
could be of service.

they left the house between $50 and
10 O'Clock p. m. and Went To the

possible to enter the front door on
account of smoke, two of the men,
bers went to the back door, which
they found unlocked. They stepped
in, but were unable tn proceed as
the smoke was 100 dense. The back
door entered by the firemen is the
one which both Hudgens and Rick
