A cloud as black as typhoon ap-
peared on the horizon this morning
for James Babe Smith, notorious
police character, who has gained the
most of his notoriety by getting fight
ing drunk and trying to burn down
the city Jail after being lodged in the
bull pen.
Smiths last attempt to burn the Jail
occurred Saturday night when he set
fire to two mattresses in succession in
the bull pen. This morning A. c. Bar
tel, assistant city attorney, appeared
in the office of w. z. Atchison, county
attorney, and asked for a complaint
against Smith on a charge of arson.
Robert Carver, assistant county attor-
ney, issued the warrant which is for
third degree arson.
The charge carries a maxim UNI
penalty of four years in the peniten-
tiary.
Babes attempt to fire the bull pen
Saturday night was the third that he
has made this year.
