LINTON AGAIN VISITED BY FIRE
Indications Are That Fire-Bug Is Ac-
tive Here, and Two More Build
ings on Broadway Are Total
Loss.

I" For the third time within month
a mysterious fire has sprung up in
the middle of the night, causing to-
tai loss of the buildings ignited.
There is little doubt that there is
fire-bug active in the city, the three
fires hardly being accidental.
This time the Linton Tire Hospital,
a two-story frame building, and the
Linton Opera House were burned to
the gsound. On October 21st, at
about 2 a. M, one of the elevators
belonging to the Farmers Elevator
Co. was completely burned, being
nearly total loss before the fire was
discovered. On the morning of Octo-
Der 26th, at about 2:3O o'clock, the
telephone Office burned, and with it
the Portz furniture store. This fire
was not discovered until the entire
interior of the telephone Office was
mass of flames. Yesterday morning,
at about 8 o'clock. the tire hospital
was found to be blazing furnace.
In no one Of these instances is there
any evidence of the cause of the fire.
Incidentally, every fire took place at
an hour when there was little likeli-
hood Of discovery in time to save the
property. The lights go out at one
o'clock, and after that time there is
practically no one moving about.
This makes an ideal time for fre-bug
activities.
1t is said that Mr.. Grenz, the ownet
of the tire hospital, had left his place
at $3.50 Tuesday night. Hence, it was
nearly nine hours later that the fire
broke out. He had little or no fire
left in the building when he went
home, so that stove could hardly
have caused the blaze.
Mr.. Grenz will not be heavy loser,
as he carried considerable insurance,
only recently taking out a policy for
81 500, in addition to policy Tor a
thousand, which he formerly carried.
Adam Thomas, owner Of the opera
house, was less fortunate. He car
ried only about 1000 on the building.
and $1,000 on the fixtures, and most
of the fixtures were saved. Hiss loss
will be several thousand dollars.
There is little or nothing that can
be done against future fires, although
experience has shown that fire-Dugs
are nearly always caught eventually.
None of the three fires so far have
spread to any extent because each took
place under excellent weather condi-
tions. There has been practically no
wind on any of the three occasions.
The city fire department was mere
joke. After considerable effort. the
fire-wagons were brought to the fire
and they were then found to be
empty.

COMMISSIONERS IN SESSION

The county commissioners have
been in session this week. Most of
the time has been devoted to road
matters, and to the allowing of cleo
tion-cost bills. However, some time
was devoted yesterday morning to a
discussion Of the official newspaper
status.
The. attorney general had submitted
an opinion that the newly-elected
newspapers become the official news
papers upon thesreceipt Of their Ger
tificate Of election from the canvassing
board, through the county auditor.
The Record received that parchment
last Saturday. The matter Of pub
fishing the abstract of votes came up.
and the commissioners wanted to know
who they would be called upon to pay
for the work. The states attorney
advised that the auditor should pro-
vide copy Of legal publications for
each paper, that the commissioners
should then decide which bill to pay
when the matter should come before
them; and the party failing to receive
payment for their work could then
determine the question in the courts.
Hence, the Record this week prints
the abstract of votes because of the
law and of the opinion of the attorney
general. The league paper also prints
the same in the hope that The supreme
court may later dcide that the league
papers are entitled to the legal print
ing until the first of the year.
In the meantime, the Record is to all
intents and purposes the sole official
newspaper Of Emmons county. It has
received majority Of the votes Of this
county. It has the law back Of it.
And it has the opinion of the attorney
general supporting it. So gentlemen,
don't be bashful. Shoot us your
legals when you have any to publish.
