Jim Gentry, Walter Potter, Police man Leo Schmicker, Mike Hurley, Will Meredith, Policeman J. M, Kinnard and others testified they saw J. w. Eaton and Frank Threlk cid together a number of times and at different places last night.
 When the state had finished the presentation of it's side of the case, the defendants. represented by w. w. Randy, announced they had no witnesses and did not care to offer any testimony. Brief arguments were made by Robt. E. Fuhr, depu- ty prosecuting attorney, w. w. Ban dy, and NJ. P. Huddleston.
 The court bound Threlkeld over on five charges of arson, fixing his bond at one thousand dollars in each case. J. w. Eaton was bound over on three charges of arson on bonds of one thousand dollars each. Lynn Eaton was held on one charge of arson and his bond was fixed at one thousand dollars. The defend ants were placed in jail in default of the bonds.
 The alleged attempt of these three men to set fire to five build ings in the business district sur passes in fiendishness any crime ever committed here. The value of the property directly endangered is not less tn m half million dollars. More serious, however, than the probable destruction of property, was the attempt to burn the Mack building with the nearly three hun dred men, women and children who were attending joint open meet ing of the Rebeccas and Odd Eel lows Had the fire in the ante room gained headway it would have cut off the only means of exit from the lodge room, and that scores of lives would have been lost in the ensuing panic is almost a certain | ty.
