Much Excitement Saturday Night Following a day of heavy registra tion in tha land drawing, Saturday night was one of the most exciting we have had for several months. The fenture of tho night were two fires, both of supposed incendiary origin, and at least threo cases of house burglary, or attempted burglary. The first firo was tho bnrn on the McDonald premises on west Third streot, which was discovered shortly after nine o'clock by Frank Buchanan, who was passing. At that time tho flames were confined to some boxes piled against the barn, and Frank made nn attompt to extinguish the blaze. Finding he could not accomplish this result, ho turned in an alarm, but by the timo tho hoso company arrived the structure had passed tho saving point. The second firo was a small frame building on the alley adjoining the Hinman garage. The fire department responded to tho call, and prevented the possible spread of tho fire. The burglaries, or attempted burglar ies were at the homes of W. C. Rey nolds, Chas. McDonald and A. B. Heagland, and they occurred just about the timo of tho first firo. Mrs. Rey nolds is out of town, and when Mr. Roynolds went home, ho found that somo ono had entered the house prior to his arrival and had ransacked every room from basement to attic. Bureau drawers had been opened and tho con tents tossed about, and closets wore turned topsy turvey. Mr. Reynolds made an investigation but so far us he could ascertnin nothing was misBing. While Mr. Reynolds was making this examination, and not knowjng but the thief might still be in the house, he noticed tho McDonald fire and stepped out on the porch just n3 Mrs. W. H. C. Woodhurst passed. Ho accosted hei and asked that sho step across the street and seo if Mr. McDonald was 'at homo, saying that he did not want to leave until he ascertained if ho had trapped a burglar. Mrs. AVoodhurst crossed over and as sho opened the screen door of the porch a man rushed out, knocking her over, fell himself but gathering himself quickly sprinted away. Undoubtedly this man was on burglary bent. About the same time occupants of the Seeberger homo noticed two men at tho rear of the A. B. Hoagland home, the family nt tho time being down town. Ono of tho men seemed to be on watch while tho other effected an entrance. Mr. v Seeberper phoned across tho streot to Charley Wholan who responded to the call armed with a revolver, and ho stopd guard in front of tho houco while See benrer armed with a four foot scant ling, started to make a detour of tho rear. As ho approached, ho saw a man on tho rear porch, and pointing the pleco of scantling as ho would a gun, commanded the follow to throw up his hands, but instead of so doing the would-be-burglar and his companion mndo a hasty retreat up the alloy. Tho fires and tho attempted burglar ies were no doubt planned; tho fires were set for tho purpose of drawing peoplo from their homes and thus make tho burglaries more easy.

Crissman, at J. C. Holl man's office. Special Train Service.
