The Merchant Who Uses Our Advertising Columns Who Wants Y E
A. Night of Fires

a N4ut O1 EHeS
Saturday might was what mighl
be. termed night of fires, the
city fire department being called
out twice to put out the demon,
and in each case it seems to have
been a case of fire bugs.
The first call came in the ev-
eMng about 10:15, when the little
barn In the rear Of Charles Van
@l's house was found to be afine.
There was but a little hay o..
straw about the place, no live
stook but a buggy and a few
other traps and the swiftne@ with
Winch they were reduced to ash.
eS was going some. The timely
arrival of the fire department
prevented the fire from spread
ing to the house or to the for.
mer Pelter Livery barn. Mr.. Van
CHS. loss will be about $4,000
with $4,000 of insurance.
At first he could. not account
for the fire, but the next morning
IN digging around the scene. he
found the lock which had been
used on the buggy shed and whicl
adlolned the barn, and which had
not been unlocked for at least
SIX weeks, to have been tampered
with and to indicate that fire
bugs or providers had been about.
In view of what transpired the
next morning the theory seems to
be well founded.
The second alarm was sent in
Sunday morning about four thir.
ty by Marshal Malta, who found
the shed lean-tO used as a ware
room by the Turner Grocery ito
De abDaze. 1t seems that some
time before a man happened into
the light plant and asked Claude

Nerning the method of working

fact that the steam was low.

who put on the red light which
brought Mr.. Malta to the plant.
He started out at once to see
what he could find out.
After making the rounds of the
town without result, he was Just
starting south again through the
alley back of the light plant,
when the fire in the Turner ware
room attracted his attention. He
made it to that locality hot foot,
and as he was about to the spot
he saw two men running away
from the building. Mr.. Malta
pulled his truSty and shot, but as
they, as well as he were running
and as they turned a corner just
then he failed to land on them.
He thought first of following
them, but concluded that lit was
the best policy to save the build
Ing, rather than follow them and
not get them, so he turned in
the alarm and assisted in extin-
gushing the fire, which was rap
idly gaining headway owing to
the wind and the inflammable
material in the vicinity of the
blaze. The fire company and as
sistants speedily done business,
however, and although some loss
resulted it is fortunate that the
loss is not greater. No arrests
have been made or clews obtain
ed as to the identity of the two
men, but it seems that their OBJ
ject was to burn the town.

HAD WORKED AMONG CHINESE
Victim Granddaughter Of Franz

New York, June 19.-ElizabetI ST.
gel, daughter of Paul Sigel and grand
daughter of the illustrious Franz 81.
gel, the German warrior who enlisted
his services with the Union army
during the Civil war, is according to
all indications the victim of one OF
the most sordid murders in the his.
tory OF New York. Taken from a
trunk in room of a Chinaman above
chop suey restaurant in the Tender.
loln, the body, in a state of decompo
sltlon which made Identification diff
cult, lies in the morgue, while detec-
t1Ves are collecting the threads of a
tangled story involving the girl and
her associations with Chinese. An
envelope addressed to the girl found
IN the room where the body Law. a
locket bearing her initials, her dis
appearance on June 10 and note
found in the room, signed "Elsie," all
seem to indicate that Franz Sigels
granddaughter was murdered. The
body was partly stripped of it's cloth
Ing, tied with ropes, wrapped in a
faded blue blanket and crammed into
dilapidated old trunk, where it lay
for week at least before the odol
crept through the building, arousing
the suspicious of the phlegmatic pro
p1ietor of the restaurant below. who
summoned the police and instituted
an investigation.
Proprietor Is MISSING.
Sun Leong, proprietor of the restau
rant, who also conducted the rooming
house above, disappeared shortly af
ter the discovery of the murder, add
ing further to the mystery The case
has many unusual features, notable
among which is the fact that China
man has been known to call at the
Sigel home, presumably with the
sanction of the parents. Elizabeth, OF
Elsie, was twenty years old and was
greatly interested in work among
Chinese. 1t is understood that she
became acquainted with one China
man who may he able to throw some
light on the case, several years ago
when he conducted cane rack at an
amusement park at Fort George The
Sigel home in Wadsworth avenue, the
Bronx, is not far away from that re.
sort. Neighbors said that the calls
of the Chinaman at the house ceased
more than year ago.
Three Cinnamon were arrested as
material witnesses. They gave the
names of zee Kim, manager of Sun
Leong's restaurant; Gong Wing, sales
man for chop suey supply house,
and Chin Sim. cook who lived in
the rear of the restaurant.
