Vinton. Jan. 25-The boys dormitory
at the Tilford Academy grounds was
burned to the ground late yesterday
afternoon. The call for the fire depart
ment was sent in about 3:15 and when
they reached there few minutes later
the large three-story building was all
ablaze in the top. Four lines OF hose
were called into use, but at first there
was insufficient pressure to reach the
point where the building was afire. The
loss will reach in the neighbOrhood OF
$4,000. with only $500 insurance on
the buildings and contents.
It is not known definitely what was
the cause Of the fire as it occurred dur
ing school hours and all of tho stu
dents were in the main building. The
smoke was first discovered by some
workmen nearby who turned In the
alarm. 1t is thought, however, that
the fire originated from an overheated
stove in one Of the students rooms. AS
the blaze started in the roof or third
floor of the building and burned down.

The property Is owned by Prof. T. F.

a private academy here for many years
past. This particular building has been
built for nearly forty years and thous-
ands of men in this part OF the state
have spent many nights within its walls
as students at the school. This building
has been the scene Of many boyish
pranks and 1t was with a sorrowful
feeling Of many Of the onlookers that
they watched the old structure slowly
going to its doom.
While 1t has not been authoritatively
stated 1t is probable that a new dormi-
tory will be erected at once. The loss
will not in any manner interfere with
the continuance Of the school.

Doctor 10 Held UP and Two Stores
Robbed at ottumWa.
Ottumwa, Jan. 25.-The reign OF
crime felt at periods in Ottumwa for
the past two weeks. broke out anew
last night. Two masked men held up
DR.. J. N. Armstrong on Maple avenue
near Court street and relieved him Of
his valuables while the William Brown
grocery. corner Of Court street and
Pennsylvania avenue and the grocery
store Of A. T. Snyder on South Mad
ison avenue in South Ottumwa were
entered and money. and goods taken.
All the hold-ups during tho past two
weeks have had q spectacular aspect
and lead the police to believe that the
work was done by men who are ex-
rerts in the business. The finding by
Mr.. Brown this morning of white cot
ton mittens in the Brown grocery.
which are now .n>:he possession of
Chief Of Police Peter Gallagher, may
result in the running down of the two
men who are believed to have commit
ted the holdup and the two robberies.
The vandalism at the Brown grocery
store at first lead the police to be-
lieve that 1t was the work Of youthful
bandits but further investigation made
1t appear that real crooks did the job,
and committed the mischief to throw
the police of their track.
