BELIEVE BURNED
BUILDINGS OILED
STORE AND BLACKSMITH SHOP
BELONGING TO JOE THOMAS
BADLY DAMAGED BY FIRE.

When the fire department was cali
ed out between twelve and one
o'clock Thursday night they found
the store of Joe Thomas, in the
southern part of the city, complete
ly enveloped in flames and it took
heroic work to extinguish the fire be-
fore the building was entirely de-
stroyed.
After putting out every spark that
could be found the firemen returned
TO their quarters only to be called
out again about four o'clock, this
time Joe Thomas blacksmith shop
being on fire. The building was al
most, a complete loss. Seven hun
dred dollars worth of material for
repair work had just been added to
the stock, all of which was badly
damaged
No insurance was carried on any
OF the property, and the loss falls
heavily on Thomas, who is an indus
trions and law-abiding negro, and
who, by close application to business,
has accumulated quite nice proper
ty.
Those who have made investigation
are strongly Of the opinion that both
these fires were the work of an in
cendiary. The flames burst out so
suddenly and burned so rapidly it is
believed that oil was used to make
quick work of wiping out the build
lngs. Although the fire company re-
IN 1l,.l 4
men had very little show against the
fierce heat that had gained such
Roadway before they reached the
scene.
A policeman walking that beat had
Just left the place of the first fire
only few minutes before the black
smith shop burst into flames, and
that fact adds to the belief that both
buildings were fred after being sat
urated with oil.
