- Fired Upon
Fire that circumstantial evidence
points to as being of incendiary orig-
in destroyed the barn owned by -Mrs.
Rachel Evans on South 3rd street
this morning between the hours of 2
and 3 o'clock. The loaa is estimated
at $300. Properly in that neighbor-
hood was endangered by tiie blaze
and but for the quick action of tho
fire department 'much damage would
have resulted..
Jim Cox who lives on Minnesota
avenue in that community discovered
the blaze and turned In tho alarm.
Nothing about the barn could be
found to account for the origin of the
fire but an incident occurred during
the fire that aroused suspicion.
Ileeauae the man living closest to
the fire had no insurance on his
house and household . belongings ho
attempted to move everything of val-
ue from the house. Two negroes
who were passing volunteered to as-
sist him. Among the articles on the
dresser was a sola watch which one
of the negroes attempted to steal.
Sheriff John Lewis who was going
home at that time stopped ai the
scene of the fire and was called to
investigate the theft. The negro
broke and ran and several shots were
fired after him but he made his es-
cape. The watch tvc- mJ vherc
the negro had thrown it. The con
clusions drawn are that the neju'O
set the barn on fft'e in order to com-
mit house thefts in the neighborhood.
