State Police
Probe Burning
Believe Fire Was Set in Bun.
galOw DestrOyed-600
Chicks Lost
SAY PLACE WAS ROBBED

State police are probing the burn
of a bungalow on Revere avenue
in Mortified which was destroyed
by fire which incinerated 500 baby
chicks early Wednesday morning
The loss is said to be $500, partly
covered by insurance.
George C. Crosse, owner of the
building, and the chicks, is firm in
his belief that the thieves, after
the chicks, set the structure on
fire to cover up their work. This
belief is held by a number Of
residents in that section, who de-
clare that poultry thefts in the
neighborhood have been many in
the past six weeks.
Crosse declared that one of the
chicks escaped out of the open
door while the thieves were at
work, and was later found in the
scrub woods nearby. He also states
that one pane of glass in the
bungalow was found buried in the
sand, unmelted by the flames,
while all other glass was melted.
This. he declares, proves that the
pane had been broken and dropped
outside before the fire started.
The owner further points out
that it would have been impossible
for the chick to escape without aid,
and that none had been able to
get outside of the bungalow in
which the brooder house was con-
fined.
Crosse says he bought four lots
on Revere avenue sometime ago,
and determined to go into the
poultry business. He started build
ing his bungalow, small one, and,
when it was almost completed.
sent away for the baby chicks,
which arrived last week.
He housed them temporarily in
the building, until they were old
enough to be taken away from the
brooder. and placed outside. Crosse
declared that it would have been
hard for the lamp to explode as he
had used that type of heating for
many years without trouble He
states he left the bungalow late that
evening, and everything was all
right then.
