COUPLE Of
MYSTERIOUS FIRES
Money Comes UP Missing After
COIdwater BIaze-Laundry
Property Wiped Out.

A fire early yesterday morning at Cold
water destroyed a summer kitchen at
the John Buschore home and badly dam
aged some furniture stored in it. The
fire is reported to have been of incen-
diary origin and intended to cover up
traces of an alleged theft of S375. The
money was secreted in some household
effects in the kitchen, and a neighbor
woman says she heard some one NOV
ing around in the building just before
the fire was discovered, which lends a
suspicious look to the affair and has
started tongues to wagging.

No township in Van Vert County ad-
joining Mercer on the north has as high
valuation as Blackcreek; not one on the
east line in Auglaize as high as Jeffer-
son, and none in Darke on the south as
high as Marion or Granville.
No wonder Auditor Morrow feels that
the valuation for Mercer County dirt is
a little too high.
