| Port Huron.-An investigation into
the cause of the recent fire at
the plant OF the Cleyeland-Sarnia Saw
Mills company, has developed the fact
that the blaze was the work Of an In

scene of the actual fire an attempt had
been made to start another fire In the
heart of the plant. A pile Of half.
burned papers was found under the
corner of lumber pile. II Is thought
that some discharged employees Of the
plant may be responsible.

that she believes the unknown victim
was her brother, George H. Newcombe,
who bought some huckleberry marsh
here and who never has returned
home or written. The body was buried
by Kalkaska county officers.

fact that two fishermen happened to
see the accident and the attempted
rescue both children probably would
have been drowned. The mother
though only a few feet away In the
city park, did not know Of the acct
dent until after the rescue.
