PROBABLY INCENDIARY
BURNING OF INTERNATIONAL.
HARVESTER BUILDING IN
SIOUN FALLS - LOSS
NEARLY $1,000, 600.

Sioux Falls, May 12.-Fire, the
origin of which may have been in

the 500. 900 four-story office and
warehouse building of the Interna-
tional Harvester company in East
Sixth street, entailing a total loss

1000, 900.
Fire Chief William Sloan said last
night: This fire did not just hap

probably of oil. OF that ] am posi-
tive"
The person who first discovered
the fire and turned in the alarm said
he heard two sharp explosions which
attracted his attention to the big
building as he was walking along
nearby railway tracks. Immediately
he said, he saw flames through the
windows.
Officials of the International Har-
vester company said last night no oil
is kept in the building. Chief Sloan
believes an explosive oil was employ
ed by an incendiary, with the object
of destroying the vast stock Of agri-
cultural machinery in the building,
upon which South Dakota farmers
depend in part for the harvesting of
the wartime crop.
