DUSTY HAIRED, fiery Fred
- Lands diffidence in regards to
the Republican nomination for Gov

dictate whether he will be candi-
date, coupled with the belief Of
many Republicans that the Hoover

Anyhow, there is distinct feel

In the second place, iconoclasts in

And, third, Fred thinks for him

Lumber Company Offers
$500 Reward; Suspicion
Points to Tramps in Camp

WINCHESTER. Va, Aug. IS
Fire officials are today running
down several rumors as to the
cause of the $4,000 fire which
early yesterday burned part of
the lumber yard Of Glaize and
Bro, here, injuring 10 firemen.
The firm has offered 5000 re,
ward for conviction Of anyone
who deliberately set the lumber
afire. The officers do not be-
lieve that any Of the visiting
firemen camped at the site, al.
though some camped elsewhere
around the city. because hotels
were overfloWing.
The officers think 1t possible
that some persons, perhaps
tramps, stayed overnight in the
yard and allowed a campfire to
get out of control.
This Is the fourth serious blaze
suffered by the firm. Low water
pressure and the fact that the
nearest fire plug is 800 yards
away, handicapped the firemen.
