SUSPECT ALIEN ATTEMPT TO
BURN KAMRAR ELEVATOR

Webster City, la. Mny 2.-Word
has just been received that an unsuc-
2cessful attempt was made last night to
burn the Farmers Cooperative elevator
in kamrar just south of here. The
structure was full to the roof of corn
and oats.
The ~incendiary attempted to burn the
structure by putting a bundle of rags
saturated with gasoline under the door
sill and lighting it. For some cause.
however. the rags only about half
burned and the wooden structure did
not catch fire. The town is greatly
wrought up and the Impression is gen
eral that it was the work of some Ger
man s~ynpathizer.
A Waterman will hereafter be put on
the %levator at night. Kamrar is a
large German community. but generally
recognized as just as loyal as an Amer
lean settlement.
