Home of VIII Walthall, at
AlamOgOrdo Is De-
strOyed by Fire.

AlamOgordo, n. NJ, Aug. S.-The de-
struction by fire of the Win Walthall
residence developed into rather a SEN
Sational affair. Just before the fire
alarm was sounded some one remem-
bered having noticed a man ride up
to the opposite side Of the street from
the Walthau residence, get down and
go across toward the house. Then,
after the fire, some one else remem-
bered having noticed a man riding
out of town. The next morning after
the fire II was noticed that tracks were
made about the house similar to the
tracks where the horse was tied across
the street. This led to an inVestiga-
ton which resulted in a warrant be-
ing sworn out by justice of the peace
". K. Stalcup for the arrest of John
Doe" whose true name is unknown,
charged with arson. in the night time
The warrant was placed in the hands
Of deputy sheriff Jim Green, who took
up the trail and followed 1t to the
Walthau ranch home, several miles
south of town. where he arrested
Charles Hargrave- The measurement
of the tracks with the shoes of Har-
grave were the same. The horse has
a crippled foot, the hOof of which
makes a peculiar track The same
horse tracks were trailed from the spot
where the horse was hitched across
the street from the Walthall house to
the Walthall ranch home. When Mr..
Green arrested Hargrave he says he
found a wax candle in his pocket and
noticed that candle drippings were on
one shoe.
The fire originated in the cellar of
the residence and the house and con-
tents were destroyed Mr.. Walthall
and family were absent at Palomas Hot
Springs on a visit.
This is the second time within two
years that fire started in the cellar
Of this house. the first time the fire
was discovered and extinguished with
out serious damage, probably to the
amount of a few hundred dollars.
There was $500 insurance on the
house and $500 on the furniture.
