by Everett Hood, the scissors grinder,
and his family was burned to the
ground last evening Mr.. Hood and
wife were about 40 rods from the shack
when flames were noticed and the two
rushed Immediately to the hut where
in two small children, one three years
old and another 10 months old, were
confined. When they reached the hut
ii was almost entirely surrounded by
flames, but the two small children were
taken out without having sustained
any injury. In a very short time the
dry wooden structure, which was about
Is feet long and 10 or y feet wide, was
diminished to fairly good pile of wood
ashes. This caused the small family
TO seek shelter for the night wherever
possible. Besides losing their home, all
clothing was lost, together with their
small amount of furniture. Mr.. Hood
believes the fire to have been incen-

staying in Greenyille, Me, in 1916 that
he is accused of stealing a trunk con-
tanning Sl40 in money, on which charge
he was to be arrested, according to the
deputy sheriff there.
Longs birthplace was undoubtedly in
Big Cove THE Narrows), Queens coun-
ty, ~ B. On enlisting he gave the
name of George William Wrath and
that his nearest relative was sister,
Mrs. Bessie Appleby, of The Narrows.
The detectives say both his parents
are dead but that he has four sisters
and two brothers. Long. or Wrath
lived at home until shortly after the
deaths of his parents, when he went to
Providence, r. l., to work for his broth
err, Sherlton Wrath, in the ice business.
Prior to his fathers death, George
Long, or Wrath, is alleged by the de-
tectives to have run in debt and had
the bills sent TO his father.

lived at Woodstock, n. B., Providence,
