new LEIPZIG HOME
WAS SET ON FIRE

New Leipzig, Jan. 22.-The home
of John Roehl, who lives about
three miles north of here, was nearly
destroyed by fire last week.. Fire
started in the kitchen attached to the
main part of the house. Mr.. Roehl
aWoke shortly after the fire must
have started, n left a strong inclin-
alton to look for danger. He went TO
the window but was unable to see
anything that looked wrong; he then
went into the room which separated
the kitchen from the bedroom. Fire
had already broke through the wall
separating the two rooms. He ran
outside to the we'll and pumped sew
era pals of water, which he carried
to the house and poured on the fire,
putting out the flames but not entire
ly e~xtinguishing the fire, leaving the
fire smoldering between the walls he
took the family to his neighbor's, re-
turning with that gentleman to his
home and put out the fire, which was
still burning between the walls.
The fact that he awoke and felt a
strong desire to investigate probably
saved the lives of himself and family.
After daylight had arrived they
made an investigation of the cause
and found that kerosene oil had been
literally splashed between the walls
near the chimney. This led them to
look at his other house, some dis
lance removed, and here they were
again met with a surprise, the build
ing being literally saturated with oil
and q pile of burned hay showed
where same party had started a fire
with the intention of having the hay
ignite the oil. why the oil failed to
catch can only be explained by the
fact that the work must have been
done in the dark and the hay had not
been placed sufficiently e to the
oil to cause combustion.
