here until recently as the Oklahoma
state house, was made last midnight
by unknown parties
The evident desire of the incendia
ries was to destroy the ballots, voted
at the general election last fall,
because of several election contests
now pending. The outside wire screen
was torn from a small window into
the big vault in the county clerks
office, the window was pried upward
and a ball of fire was dropped
through the iron bars into the sacks
of ballots lying underneath.
The window was then lowered and
a piece of cloth hung over the out.
side to prevent the flames from
showing through. Smoke fumes alarm
ed passers-by, however, the fire COM
pany was called and the flames were
eXtinguished. About half of the bal
lots were destroyed. For several days
