ARREST DAYT0NMAN
FOR SETTING HOUSE
ON FIRE IN 1878
AUTHORITIES CLAIM TO HAVE
GARNERED ENOUGH EVIDENCE
TO WARRANT HOLDING w. c.
HIPPARD ON CHARGE OF AR
SON.

William c. Hippard, aged about So
a well known Dayton resident, was
arrested late Saturday night on a
state warrant charging arson. Hip.
pard is alleged to have burned a
house belonging to him on July s.
1919, and collected 81 $50 insurance
money.
The authorities have worked on
the case for more than three years.
While the fire had been the cause of
much suspicion, it was not until re-
Gently that the officials claim they
were able to secure evidence which
they believed would warrant them
taking romal steps to prosecute Hip
pard.
The man who is now prisoner in
the county Jail, purchased the house
for $500 a few weeks before the
fire from a man named Ostrander.
Ostrander had the premises insured
for $1,000. Hippard insured the
premises through the McEvoy agen-
cy in Ottawa, increasing the amount
from Sl,0OO 10 SI,g50.
The house was vacant at the time
of the fire. 1t was discovered burn
ing by neighbors early the morning
of July 5. The place was totally
wrecked. The authorities believed
the fire was incendiary in origin.
Hippard was paid $3.50 insurance
money, the barn on the place not
having been destroyed. Since the
fire he sold the lot on which the
house was located for $500
Hlppard's home near Dayton was
raided last year, after which he was
for an alleged violation of
the search and seizure act.
