Lose Over $500 in Incendiary Fire
Fire of incendiary origin broke out in
the Dugglesby meat market at POOP
Eddy street, damaging the building
and contents to the extent of over
$500. An investigation into the cause
of the blaze is being made by the local
police and sensational developments
are promised. Officer Brown turned
in the alarm. There is indisputable
evidence of the blaze being the pre-
! meditated work of a fire bug or fire
bugs. When the fire department ar
rived the building was full of smoke
from the burning storehouse refriger-
ator, which was a total loss. After the
! fire had been extinguished an immed-
I late investigation was instituted by
Chief Denger. One of the most dam
aging bits of evidence was an open
gas jet, to which a hose had been at
tached, with the opening buried be-
meath a huge pile of papers in the mid
die of the floor. Without this, how
ever, there is sufficient evidence to
| convict the incendiary should he be
apprehended.
