Eight Fires in Few Hours Stir Police
to Action-One Suspect Placed
Under Arrest.

The police got active when there
were eight. fires within a few hours
in Wichita, and arrested a suspected
incendiary. He had been seen in the
vicinity of several of the blazes. The
police say the losses were not large
but in most cases destruction was
complete, and at 3 o'clock when the
City Transfer COmpany's barns at
Washington and English streets
burned, two horses died. Many more
were saved.
The wind was blowing strong from
the south, but the fires did not spread.
In the Snyder Ice Cream Compant's
barns at First street and Ohio avenue
four horses were killed. The fires
started at o'clock and the last alarm
was turned in at 2:45 O'Clock. Four
of them were reported almost sim
ultaneously and taxed the capacity OF
the entire fire department.
The fires all were within a few
blocks of each other and the suspected
fncendiary was seen near one of the
blazes. He is an employee of one of
the companies that suffered from the
blazes. The loss of all the fires is
placed at $4,000. Large crowds at
tended all of them because of their
frequency and their close proximity.
