her husband were boarding burned.
and she escaped with nothing but her
night clothes.
Mrs. T0tty was awakened at 2:3e
O'Clock in the morning by cracking
noise and to her horror discovered
that the ceiling above her head was In
flames. She at once awakened her
husband and then rushed to the door
and looking out saw that the entire rear
Of the building had already burned.
Mr.. Totty ran at once to the floor
above and awakened Mr.. and Mrs. Stan
field, who occupied the room and got
them out. They would unquestionably
have persisted but for Mr.. Totty's
thoughtfulness. Mrs. Totty states
that she did not wait to get her clothes
but rushed from the house in her night
dress.
Mr.. and Mrs. Totty lost all of their
clothing and other personal belong.

BY clever piece Of detective work
Sheriff Griffin believes that he has

been working hard ever since in an
effort to ferret out the crime and de-

he has succeeded and has taken into
custody young negro by the name of

charge, but the sheriff believes that
he has the proof sufficient to solve the
problem.
There were number Of the checks
presented and 10 the ordinary individ-

now endeavoring to locate them and
believes that he has some good clews.
