FIRE DESTROYS
CECILTON STORE
Bullet Punctures Stradley's
Hat AS He Sat By Win
dow At His Home
OF INCENDIARY ORIGIN

Another fire in Cecilton, Md,
early Tuesday morning of last
week, caused renewed efforts to
find the incendiary who recently
terrified residents in that town and
attracted the attention of the Fire
MarshaTs office in Baltimore. The
latest blaze destroyed the two-and
a-half story brick store property
of George Weinroth and threaten
ed his residence. While no direct
evidence was found that it was
started by an incendiary, county
authorities are investigating The
fire started inside of the store
about 1890 o'clock and had gained
considerable headway before it was
discovered. Mr.. Weinroth was in
Philadelphia at the time. His wife
and children were sleeping in the
residential section of the building.
They had no trouble reaching safe
ty. Fire companies from Odessa
and Middletown fought the flames,
keeping them confined to the inside
Of the store. The entire stock of
general merchandise was either de-
stroyed or damaged. The damage
has not been estimated. On the
heels of several fires in Cecilton,
Md, believed to have been started
by a "firebug," an attempt last
week to assassinate Harold Strad-
lay, a night watchman who had
been engaged for special duty dur
ing the fire scare, has aroused the
whole community to a state of ter
ror Cecil County authorities are
working frantically to apprehend
the mischief maker who is believed
to be responsible for the fires and
the attack upon the officer as he
sat in his home off duty. They are
convinced that some night proWler
whose one obsession is to start
fires just for the excitement is at
large, determined in his mental
state to continue his fun in the vii
lage without apprehension. Officer
Stradley, sat down by a window in
his home without taking his hat
off. While he was reading his pap
er, a bullet crashed through the
window, passing through his hat,
He jumped up quickly to investi-
gate, but could find no trace Of
anyone in the neighborhood who
could be suspected. Several build
4 ings have had matches applied to
them recently and some have been
destroyed including the town hall
After the third fire, the property
owners became alarmed. Citizens
took turns patrolling the streets at
night. A little later it was decd
ed to employ a night officer fol
the town and Stradley was selected
for the job. Since he has been OF
the Job for the past two weeks
there have been but one fire in the
town. This lead officials to sus
pect that the fire fiend either free
the bullet at Stradley to kill hin
or frighten him SO he would giv'
up the job.

Shipping Association
Issues Statement

The Redwood Falls Cooperative
Livestock Shipping association issued
the following statement for publica-
tion this week:
4 ."Since October ~ when the asso-
citation started on a new rate sched-
ule, it has shipped 81 cars and has
paid into the sinking fund from these
shipments, $113.05 after patrons have
been paid for their livestock.
"The amounts paid from the fund
are: managers commission at five
cents per hundred pounds, $178.92
and feed, printing, lath and building
paper, $54.86 or a total of $233.78.
This leaves loss of $123.73 to the
association. All of this stock has
been consigned to the Central CO.
operative company of South ST. Paul
which received a selling commission
of $235.15. When the association re-
ceives its usual refund of 80 per cent
or $70.54 the net loss will be $50.19.
~The management appreciates the
patronage received and points out
that if more livestock raisers would
make more use of this association,
it would show lower operating cost
by making possible heavier loads and
use of double decked cars.

MIR. Cook says, 'This condition is due
TO the fact that we had no snow this
year and also had a good deal of
thawing weather during which it
was necessary that the roads be
patrolled. Last. year over the same
period there was practically no pa
trolling but much snow removal.
"If we subtract the added cost of
winter patrolhng prior to March 81
from the average cost per mile, we
find that the cost is $104.12 per mile,
