Loss by Fire at Smith & Cooley Plant

pointments MISUNDERSTANDING
Set Up Three Silent Policemen to
Safeguard Streets.

The fire at Smith & Cooley's flock
shop which practically consumed the
three-stor wooden building, Wednes-
day night, caused damage of approx
mately $50, 900. The fire probably
started by a spark from an overhead
ed bolt which was thrown into the
stock receiving bin in the middle of
the floor. The fire company did good
work in saving the other buildings, At
one time the entire plant was threat
ened.
7 The books and furniture were re-
moved from the Office when the fire
broke into the brick building The up
per story of the brick building was
considerably scorched and the stock
suffered a good deal from water 1t
is thought that some of the machinery
Which was in the wooden building may
be used again.
The loss is covered by insurance.
Business at the plant was rushing
and the fire at this time is very I'M
fortunate. The plant was Running
night and day and the firm could not
begin to fill its orders. The building
will be rebuilt but it will take a long
time. before it is ready for occupancy.
About so hands will be out of en-
ployment in consequence Of the fire;
but as business in the other mills is
good, it is thought that most OF them
will soon find work.

while Mcbride served as lookout. and
added that Mcbride entered the DAVIS
store in Beach street while he stood
guard, but nothing was taken at TINS

These arrests were made with the
assistance of Policemen Parker and
Wheeler of Pawcatuck, who suspected
Martell and Mcbride in connection
with breaking and entering the NC
CURE store in Stillman avenue Tues
day night and stealing several boxes
of candy and cigarettes. Policeman
Wheeler took Mcbride into custody but
could not get evidence SUFFICIENT TO
hold him for the Stillman avenue
theft. but did get information sufficient
to connect both him and Marten with
the breaks in westerly, and this in
formation was impaired to Chief
Brown and the arrests resulted. Po-
l1ceman Parker, with the aid of Police
man Wheeler, recovered two watches
that had been purchased from Mar
tell.
Thursday afternoon Chief Brown
and Policeman Parker visited Mar

covered three reVolvers, seven watches

Bride entered the latter store and that
he spotted from the outside. In ad-
dition Martell confessed to Police
men Parker and Wheeler that he was
the fellow who got away with about
$40 from the American-Greek store
two months ago.
Marten was held by Chief Brown on
the charge of breaking and entering
the Girven store, and Mcbride is
charged with being an accomplice.
They will be arraigned before Judge
Oliver H. Williams in the Third dis
tIict court at today'se session in West

accused, they will probably be ar

who thronged to our golden hills and
valleys in the sixties, yet he ca me al
most in the gray of the morning of
our history.
Forty years ago--in 1S77--he babe
good bye to the old Ohio homeland and
cast his lot with the new territory. He
came in those picturesque and stirring
days which vanished with the passing
of the frontier. He came when ldaho's
fields were gray instead Of green;
when the coyote sang; when THO war
whoop could be heard when the
prairie smokes were thin and blue in
stead of wide and black. He was here
before the coming of the railroad or
the telephone; before the irri cation
dam, the power plant the factory or
the college. He knew we'll thR old
democratic stage coach, the primitive
trail and the hosptablc miners cabin
with its unlocked door.
CHASED DESERTS FRoWN.
He was part of that stout nd artcd
company who helped drive ava the
loneliness from our illimitable open
spaces; who helped chase away the
frown of our deserts, and who erected
a few signal stations that civilization
might come and make herself home.
Judge Elcnner was a unique figure
In this strange, new land. The from
tiersman must be practical; he has no
choice. Judge Flcnner's world was not
a world of things; it was world of
thoughts. He was A book-lover n IA
