FIRE BUG ABOARD
Tried To Burn Down Majestic Thea
tire Christmas Eve.

The proprietors OF the Majestic
Theatre came near to getting a
Christmas present they didn't figure
on Christmas eve. Santa Claus Wis
ited the building but instead of leav-
ing the usual remembrance he tried
20 make Yule Log out of II by sat
urating part OF the under-pinning
with kerosene and touching a match
10 Il. That he didn't succeed in his
work was due. apparently. to his
haste.
When VIM. Equist and Alfred An
derson went into the basement OF the
theatre building on Saturday morn
ing to attend TO the furnace. Mr.. An
derson happened to glance up under
the building and noticed that the
joists were charred.. Investigation
showed spot about yard square
had been saturated with kerosene
and fire set TO II. The wood was wet
with the kerosene when the men dis
covered what had been done.
II looked as II someone who had
evil intentions had deliberately tried
10 burn the building. The basement
had been left open so that it was
easy to gain access to a. Evidently
the person who perpetrated the act
was in great haste and. fearing to be
caught. closed the basement door ex-
pecting the mere ignition OF the kero-
sene to accomplish the purpose. The
closing OF the door smothered the
flames which burned out after they
had eaten about half an inch into the
floor and joists.
The fire was set directly under the
booth. which was filed with paper az

The theatre building Is set close TO
the Schofiman store, which certainly
would have gone along with the the
atre. In the second story OF the
Schoffman building two families live
with ten children. The property and
lives OF these people would also have
been IN jeopardy.
The buildings are owned by Paul
Andersen who built them when Alpha
was FIRST started.
A reward OF $500 has been offered
for information leading 10 the arrest
and conviction OF the person who at
