Flames Gain Such Headway

FOLKS Suspicious
Little Furniture Is Saved
From Conflagration;
Plan To Rebuild

Bladensburg, Jan. ga fire, the
origin Of which Is battling mystery,
RACED to the ground Saturday night
the two-story school house here, en-
failing a property loss of over $4,000,
less than half of which is covered by
insurance.
George Davidson, who resides near
the building, was the first to discover
the fire. He awakened from sleep
Sunday morning about o'clock and
noticed the flames. A general alarm
was sounded.
Practically the entire village turned
out, as we'll as a number of residents
of the outskirts. 1t was evident that
nothing could be done to stay the
flames on account of the headway
they had gained, so the people were
forced to stand inactively by and
witness the destruction of the build.
ing.
The seat of the flames was in the
high school room upstairs This is
on the west side of the building. The
fire was breaking through the roof
when first noticed.
On account of the intense heat and
the possible danger by falling tim
bers, no attempts to rescue furniture
or books, except from the east side
of the building downstairs-the pri-
mary room-from which were re-
moved an organ and the desk of the
teacher.
Frank McCament is janitor of the
building. He stated positively yester-
day that there was not fire in the
building when he closed it Saturday.
1t has been his practice to turn off all
heat because of the lack of freight
ing facilities.
One of the peculiar things in
connection with the fire Is the
fact that the fire-escape door, on
the west side of the building, was
open. This was noticed by first
arrivals and led to a suspicion
that the fire might be of incendi-
ary origin. A careful investiga-
ton is being quietly made by
school officials, armed with this
information.
The building was divided into four
rooms. 1t was frame structure and

ber, a school building, on the same
spot and similar in every particular
was destroyed by fire.
The building was in the joint Clay
and Jackson township school precinct
and pupils from both of these town
ships attended.
Emmett v. Hall, member of the
board of education, states that about
$4,000 in insurance was carried or
the building. This does not nearly
cover the loss. 1t is planned to re
build.
Yesterday, nothing remained of the
building, with the exception of char
red embers, still smouldering, and thu
