One of the most costly fires that has
visited Winchester in long time occurred
last Thursday night, when the large PLAN
ing mill and lumber yard of Glaize &
Bro. were destroyed. The fire was un-
doubtedly the work of an incendiary, as
a large skating rink of which Mr. GlaiZe
was part owner was burned night or
two previously by fire of mysterious
origin. There have been six or eight
fires in Winchester within the past week,
and large rewards are offered for the ap-
prehenSion of the fire-bug. Fred L.
Glaize, the owner of the business referred
to, is well known in ShepherdStown,
where he built two of Our best buildings
the Jefferson Security Bank and the
new Lutheran Church. His friends here
greatly regret his misfortune. The loss
is placed at $4,000, with insurance OF
only $4,000.
