FIRE BUG ATTEMPTS
TO BURN H|LO HOME
Carefully Planned Effort To De-
stroy House Fails

Only by some curious providence was
the brand new home of Chief Sanitary
Inspector Donald =. Bowman of HilO,
saved from being burned TO, the ground
some time ago. All the evidence points
to a deliberate effort being made by
some unknown fre-bug.
When the carpenters who are putting
the finishing touches to the house went
to work one morning they found under
the rear staircase the remnants Of oil
soaked shavings and gunny sack.
They Immediately notified Mr.. Bow
man. who in turn called the police, and
Deputy sheriff Henry Martin and
George Richardson took up the case.
= Investigation showed that the fire
had burned up the materials used to
start it and had burned two holes
through the wall, but had then died
out. The house was saved, according
20 the police, only because the new
wood work was still damp.
1t is believed that some unknown
sneak has grudge against either Mr..
Bowman, or against Contractor Kawa-
saki. Both say they do not know of
anyone having II grudG" against them
sufficient to excuse such an attempt at
inccndiarism.
