stated this afternoon that an investi-
CATION would be made of the reported

cause the alleged incendiary was
frightened away before he could COM
plete his preparations.

would wish TO fire our church." said
the Rev. Leonard J. Ripple. pastor,
last night. Il attribute the attempt to
a religious fanatic"
When laymen went to open the
church yesterday morning they found
that the overlapping strip between the
two doors had been pried off. On
opening the door they discovered a
large quantity of charred paper.
which evidently had burned itself out
without setting fire to the church.
