MYSTERIOUS FIRE At
MRS. RAIDERS HOME

A fire alarm was turned in at
$3.50 this afternoon, the dwelling OF
Mrs. Lucy RAIDER. at | and Third
streets having caught fire. The
flremen were prompt in arriving and
saved the house, the only room dam
aged being the kitchen, which was
scorched and badly smoked.
Just how the fire started is a
mystery, as Mrs. RAIDER was not at
home. Although she slept in the
house last night, she has been work
ing at the hospital for two weeks
and there was no stove in the house,
so she states-not even electric wir-
ing. The blaze started on the in
side and 1t is presumed that mice
gnawing into some matches might
have been the cause.

BUSTER HIGGINS
TO DETENTION HOME

Mrs. Higgins. better known as
Buster Taylor" especially IN Port
land and around Salem, where she
has been for some time, was arrest
ed here last night by local officers.
''Buster" Is not what her name
implies, being rather small, slim
woman, with dark hair which Is In
clined to be kinky. aud eyes that are
dark and limpid enough to have sue
cessfully sent many a man In the
army service to the detention house
at Camp Lewis where they are now
receiving treatment from Uncle
Sans best physicians In the hopes
OF curing their loathsome disease
so they will be fit to 20 to the front.
But their cases seem hopeless, espe-
clally for several months yet, for
Buster" and others OF her stripe
strike harder than German bullets
and single handed are putting more
OF our boys out OF action than the
best Hun that ever headed an often
sive or dropped poison In thu water.
Rumor has II that German SYM
pathizers are hiring women OF Bus
ter's" character to go among the
American troops to help the cause
of Germany. but local officers and
the district attorney are doubtful OF
this and attribute the matter to
merely individual practice on the
part OF the women.
There Is another woman, now In
Grants Pass. who will be taken along
with Buster" when Mrs. Rogers or
one OF her assistants from the de-
tention home at Salem come to take
them to that institution.
Both federal and local officers are
keeping an extra keen lookout for
women OF Busters" class. and the
detention homes are said to be
with them.
Buster" seems to know Mrs.
Rogers and doesn't like the idea OF
going to the detention home, pos
sibly because she has had some ex-
perience there. She says she is mar
ried and that her husband is at
Salem.
