Former Cambridge City Man
Sustains Loss at indian
apoIis Yesterday.
WORK OF AN lNCENDIARY?
NO cLEW HAS BEEN FOUND ~
THE POLICE WHICH WOULD
SHOW WHO WAS RESPONSIBLE
FOR THE BIG BLAZE.

Indianapolis. Nov 9.--An incendiary
fire destroyed the building occupied by
Leslie A. Wills druggist, at 2115 Mar
tindale avenue, yesterday. Wills for
merly resided at Cambridge City.
There was clear evidence that an in
oendiary was responsible for the fire.
but the police who were called to the
place. were unable to find clew.
The building was a one-story frame
structure about 25xJO feet in size, and
the drug store occupied the entire
structure with the exception of a room
in the rear, which was used by Wills
as a. living room until about two
weeks ago. When the alarm was
sounded the fire had spread all over
the stores and the flames were burst
ing from the roof when the department
arrived.
There was no chance to save the
property. Wills's loss was upward OF
$1,000. and the loss on the building
was about $1,000.
FirenSen Make Investigation.
AS soon as the fire was out the fire
men made an, investigation, and they
found evidences that the fire had been
started in two places, as shown by
holes burned in the floor. At one
place the firemen said the fire had
been started under counter. and the
other place was on the opposite side OF
the room. The several streams OF
water thrown into the place protected
the other parts of the floor from being
burned
The firemen said it would have been
impossible for the fire to start In the
different places had not some one plan
ned it. Bicyclemen Hunter and Reldy
were watching the ruins when the
druggist came to open his business. He
was shocked when he saw the fire,
partly for the reason that he had al
lowed some of his insurance to lapse
recently. Wills was satisfied the fire
was Of incendiary origin.
Owned by Brewery Company.
The building was owned by the Ter
re Haute Brewing company. The po'
lice suspected that some of the neigh
bors had burned the store, but could
not find any evidence to substantiate
their opinion. Wills said he had NJ
enemies that he knew of, and that M
objection had ever been raised against
the store. He said he had moved to
get more pleasant living quarters. The
fire was reported to the detective de-
partment.~

RAILROAD QUESTION
Railroads in Dispute Over the
Stop-over Ticket Priv
iIege.
1T is FAVORED BY SOME

Owing to the fact that many travel
ers abuse the stop over privilege, and
unusued portions of the tickets are
sold to "scalpers." many of the west
ern roads have started a war to discou-
tinue the privilege. Some time ago
these privileges were almost unlimited
and travellers were permitted to stop
over at large cities and resorts on
tickets sold for considerable distance
1t is alleged that it was in view Of
the great losses sustained by the diff
ferent roads that the necessary restric-
lions were forced to be placed or else
abolish the system altogether.
The eastern roads, however. feel that
a great deal of business is done be-
cause of the stop over favor allowed
their patrons and that to totally dis
continue the rights Or even put severe
restrictions on the privilege, would
prove disastrous to their business. An
effort is being made to effect COM
promise between the eastern and
western roads in regard to the matter
but it will probably be some time be
fore this step is taken, it is said.

virtue had about emptied the Carbon
ate county Jail. He worked in leisure
ly way, smoking his short pipe and
breaking out now and then in a stave
OF some rollicking Irish ballad. From
time to time, as no dumped his car, he
would examine piece of rock, but
this was LARGELY from force of habit
One day Tim made certain measure

Informed the sheriff that the excava-
ton had progressed far enough for
the beginning of another cell, and
that official, to oblige Tim, told the
latter to go ahead on the cell. But
before the work had proceeded far
1t was discovered that Tins time was
out, so he shook hands with the
sheriff and walked away. 1t was
noticed, however, that he did not do
part as usual for the mines, but hung
about town, and for a wonder kept
quite sober. He was also seen loiter-
ing about the courthouse, where he
spent some time poring over records.
One day ne offered q document for

the recording of this class Of docu-
ment was such q common occurrence
that Tins fling caused not so much
as single comment, the clerk receiv-
ing and recording the document in the
most perfunctory manner possible.
But when Tim appeared at the
sAeriff's office the next day the sheriff
was not little surprised to see him.
Tim greeted the official with some
what studied formality and requested

HIS face was white, all at once, and
his hands trembled.
"Ellen!" he cried, crushing down
the impulse to turn and run from this
grim, impassive woman who had been
waiting for him all these years, while
his lawyers were moving heaven and
earth to set him free. '"Ellea!"

He looked abroad in one swift

his face grew ghastly. Then he kept
his eyes on hers.

Of the hill.
The hawk, floating silent far above,
suddenly tapped his wings and fed,
sending wild clamor over the land.
When the woman went into the
cabin presently, the child had the
sticks, but he was playing new

of proof sheets on his knee and was
marking them with blue pencil.
Are you doing some work for
Nevers?" asked PEBBLE.
The Onlooker thrust the papers into
his pocket and turned slowly from the
fire.
Perhaps l am doing it for Nevers,
and perhaps for some other man." he
said; and that is all PEBBLE could dis
cover.
Miss Majorie played poor Smith SO
fast and loose that he almost wished
Nevers had not gone away, for it had
always been a comfort to him to see

'The right of the field" he answered

The Onlooker asked this with bold.

She looked at him merrily. Her eyes
were neither blue nor gray, but Of
shade he had never seen before.
Il am quite Indifferent as to who
got the game" she answered, 'but my
preference is for poets rather than
other men,"
The Onlooker cast quizzical
glance, but her face was averted. And
Of a sudden. he remembered that he
too was maker of ballads.

his chair and picked up paper.
Presently Dick put his cue in the
rack and went out, keeping his back
to the crowd.
Smith smiled softly when the door
closed, then, producing his cigarcase,
he passed it around. With a conde-
scending smile he went over to The
Onlooker; but that harmless individ.
ual was thoughtfully pulling at his
pipe, and would not take a cigar.

the inner sanctum had been closed the
sheriff motioned Tim to a chair.

solemnly, lit becomes me unpleasant

well. Well. Tim, I mast look
into this. Please excuse me-" aud the
sheriff seized his hat and rushed out.
Sure enough, Tim had Jumped the
claim whereon the Jail was located,
and ia law his claim was valid. for the
county attorney had neglected to
carry out the commissioners instruc-
tions. So the next thing was to Sc
cure some kind of a compromise; and
after considerable jangling Tim con-
sented to lease the Jail privileges to
the county at an annual rental OF
$1,000 dollars. reserving the privilege
himself of operating his mine for the
first year through corridor No. /, and
q contract was entered into to that
effect.
Hooligan, while at work on the ex.
tension of corridor No. 1, had struck
one of the richest veins of copper ore
in the west, and year afterwards
sold out to the great copper trust for
the neat sum of 100000 and is now

Mosquitoes Caught In Trap.

A mosquito trap looks big In impor-
tance and small in size. 1t is the in.
vention of Maxwell LEROY Of the In.
dian chronological department, who
has found it distinctly effective in y
tropical residence The trap is .
small box some Il inches square and
nine inches wide, fitted with a hinged
lid provided with small orifice over
which moves sliding cover The box
is lined with dark green baiZe, and
has tin floor. The trap is placed In
shady corner of the room, and the
mosquitoes upon entering the house in
the morning seclude themselves there
in to escape the sunlight. When the
insects have duly settled. the lid is
shut, and about a teaspoonful of ben
zine is infected into the box. Within
, short time the mosquitoes succumb.
Mr.. LEROY continued this process
daily until the mosquitoes ceased to
be troublesome, and within 81 days
he caught and killed over 1900 OF
these insects whose rayagesi are IA
1iliar to many outside the torrid zone.
