Frank Aquino use Loss of in».
mo in Place in Wall sum
Although it was too cold a night to
arouse the firemen of the City of Nor-
walk. last evening. for s are call. any
ertheless tire is no respecter of per-
sons. and the brave are isddiea were
called upon the jump from their warm
beds to antiwar the call which came in
at 4 o'clock this morning from Box 15
at the corner of Main and Wall
streets. turned in by Ollicer Charles
F. Page, of the Norwaik. polices force.
The tire was in the fruit. cigar, deli-
catessen and general small article
store of Frank Aquino in Well almost.
situated between the Jones and Hutch-
kiss three story plumbing establish
meal. and the lunch wagon of J. A.
Montgomery. The tire damaged the
place, which is owned by Manice DeF‘
Lockwood. to the extent of about $100.
Mr. Aquino carried no lnsulasce on the
contents and all that was burned is
therefore a total loss to him. .
it is thought that the fire was of in-
cendiary origin, for the reason that the
fire started in the rear apartment of
the store, partitioned oil from the
front and used as a storehouse by the
fruit dealer. and started on the outside
of the building. it was biasing fur-
iously upon the arrival or the firemen,
who soon had it under control and tin-
ally out. The fireman worked well and
saved the building and those next to
it. On Thanksgiving night the store
was robbed, but Mr. Aquino did not
report it to the police because he sus—
pected that he knew who committed
the robbery and wished to catch them
at it some time. He now suspects these
men of starting the live. but would not
divulge their names this morning.
The rear of the building was burned
out and what was not burned was
charred so that if ever repaired it will
mean rebuilding. The building is an
eye-sore and many people think it was
a shame that any attempt was made to
save it. Perhaps. however, its condl~
one to erect a suitable building in its
place. the location being a good one
and there being plenty of room for s
business block.

Mrs Thomas Crawford. wife of a

she has kept her three little girls from

trict school which is s quarter-mile
walk from their home.
During the past summer. Mrs
Crawford's children have had at least
two thrilling experiences with alleged
kidnappers. At this time the children
were in a carriage and had filled a
barrel with water from the spring a
