ROSS, who lives just across the street, noticed the fire first and gave the alarm. Assistance came and by quick and hard fighting the fire was put out, but only in time to save the whole building. Had it had five minutes more time, all effort to save the building would have been in vain. Mr. ALMACK did not get home till the fire had been extinguished and he found his house in rather a bad condition. Everything indicated that the house had been set on fire. The coal oil can was found setting on the cellar stairway about half way down the stairs and the fire started at the top of the cellar stairs. Mr. ALMACK says they did not keep the oil can there, but that it was on the back porch when he left. He also said there was no fire in the house when they left it, the only lamp they had in use was upstairs. The mystery is, who could have done the deed?
