has seldom been seen.
It was last evening when the political

a number of people, started to go up the

of fire from diflerent parts of the house

The outburst of flames before an alarm

Durlng the past. six months this village
has been the scene of so large a number of
fires of an obviously incendiary origin as
to call for the serious attention of the po-
lice authorities. A secret investigation
was instituted which resulted in the ar-
rest of John (ioerke, 21 years old. a mem-
ber of the liolumbia Hook and Ladder
company of Tonawanda and belonging to
the State Firemen's association. it is
claimed that iimrke has been the author
of many destructive fires here. among
them that which destroyed the Weston
lumber yards last week. causing a lms of
over $175,000. it is the custom of the lo
cal fire department to award a medal to
the fireman who arrives first at the scene
‘ of the greatest number of fires during the
