Show I An Attempt at Incendiarism I Captain Paul of Mulloy Paul hailed a DEMOCRAT reporter this morning and said he wished to show him something I The Captain led the reporter down the I alley way between the stables of Mulloy I Paul and the Richards house and when I they had reached the rear of the Richards houpe the Captain pointed out tho place j I where some friend had collected a lot of I straw and kindling wood Iud set lie to i i it This place was immediate under I the stairway at the rear of the Richards I House and the fire had burned partly I through the porch next to the stairway I and was beginning to work its way up the i side of the house which on the south is entirely made of wood when entrely it was discovered by some of I I the saloon keepers who rent a portion of the building and was putout I put-out Had this building got fire there is no telling what might have been the extent I ex-tent of the conflagration but it must have been immense as the livery stables of Mulloy Paul and of Mark McKim mins are very near the Richards house and many other buildings thereabouts have much inflammable material about them This attempt to burn the Richards house is a plain case of deliberate incendiarism and had the attempt been successful the charity of the people would have attributed the fire to accident I behooves the people to watch their premises as the city is fled with tramps and men whose characters i r not of the best and sojourning mendicants I men-dicants in good standing are not always I to be trusted I I I |
