SUSPICIOUS FIRE AT CAvANESS RANCH
 THIRD IF THE KIND

4 fire, believed to be incendiary, de- stroyed property to the value of S15,000 at the ranch of w. F.. Cavaness, west of Phoenix on the Christy road, early yesterday morning. Nearly 500 tons of hay. a hay barn and a lot of farm ma chinery comprised the loss.
 This is the third fire in the valley near Phoenix within the last two weeks, all of them breaking out in circum- stances that pointed to incendiarism. In a fire north of Phoenix last Saturday night lot of hay, cotton and several head of horses were burned.
 All these fires seem to have been set to destroy agricultural products, though the conflagration that destroyed a church in the Chandler neighborhood Wednesday night is said to have been without doubt, incendiary.
 The greatest loss, so far though, has been in the fire at the Cavaness ranch, one Of the best appointed dairy farms in the valley.

 Somewhere the boy had acquired a complete set of skeleton keys, which he used to gain access to the places he "burgled."
