About midnight Sunday the alarm of
fire was sent out by way of telephone
aud very soon a crowd gathered at the
James English bungalow, and by well
directed efforts prevented the destruc-

the amount of several hundred dollars
was done. After the fire was extin-
guished several men present investi-
gated and what they found convinced
them that the fire was of incendiary
origin, a fact we regret very much to
know. Evidently the supposition had
been that all evidence would be de-
stroyed before anyone reached the
scene, but the flames left what was
intended as kindIing and proceeded up
ward without delay, and the basement
was left, fairly speaking out what had
been planned.
