ANOTHER PUTNAM FIRE
 OF INCENDIARY ORIGIN
Fourth of Suspicious Character-Rear of Edward MuIlan's Three Story Building Burned Out-Loss Several Thousand Dollars.

Putnam Nov. 13.-A fire which was undoubtedly of incendiary origin, did several thousand dollars damage to- night to the three-story wooden build ing owned by Edward Mullan, and located in the alley off Main street The alarm came in at 10 o'clock and by the time the firemen reached the scene. the flames had gained great headway and had eaten their way from the ground level to the roof Five streams were played on the build ing for nearly an hour; and the re- call was sounded at 11.10 p. m. The lower floor is occupied by Phillias Cloutier as a saloon, and the two up- per floors are used by L. E. Smith as storerooms for furniture and car pets. The rear of the building from top to bottom was gutted by the fire, and the interior drowned with water. No accurate estimate of the damage to building or contents could be obtained Wednesday night, but the loss will amount to several thousands of dol lars, somewhat covered by insurance. The fire seems to establish without doubt that a firebug Is operating in Putnam. On election night two fires were set in the immediate vicinity of the one that caused Wednesday night s damage, but they were put out before they could cause harm. Wednesday nights fire is the fourth of a suspi- cious nature within a month. The fire department did splendid work in get ting the fire under quick control.
