The cry of a two-months-old baby
saved the house of Mrs. F. Downey
on Garden street, occupied by the
Downey boys and Mr. and Mrs. Elmer
S. Haden from Incendiary destruction
last night and prevented a confla
gration which might have consumed
a whole block of residence dwellings.
Awakened by her child's wailing, Mrs.
Haden-could not go back to sleep be
cause of a vague sense of uneasiness
and a premonition that'something was
wrong. The smell of kerosene smoke
and ' the crackling of burning wood
soon confirmed her tears and rush
ing out tin back door, Bhe discovered
a fire of kindling under the boxed-
In porch, and lafr.r a burning candle
in a pasteboard shoe box surrounded
by pap.r and straw was found under
that a "Are bug" had teen! at work.
The blaze was extinguished by Mr.
Had?n and the neighbors before any
damage was done, but only the time
ly discovery saved the building from
destruction. The motive of the In
cendiary Is a complete mystery. Mrs.
Downey declares, to her ; knowledge
she has no enemy, but thinks that
the deed was intended to injure her.
She owns six dwellings ciose togethT
?r b'tween Gardsn and Willow streets
?3 !t would have been difficult to
prevent the flames from spreading
from qne to another. The police think
it possible that the attempt was made
hv housebreakers wo thought to ply
their nefarious trade under cover of
the excitement. ' .
; Presentiment Endures.
Mr. and Mrs. Haden are new arriv
als in the city, Mr, Haden being em
ployed as engineer at the merry-go-
round recently started near the Bow
man hotel. Mrs. Haden had retired
about nine o'clock with her baby but
was awakened an hour or so r " .
he latter's cries. She sootLud the
little one but could not go back to
sleep. Her husband came home about
11 and she told of h"r unesslress tr
him but he was tired and soon felt
asleep. The woman's presentiment,
however, grew stronger and she arose
and walked to the beck window where
she stood for some time looking out
into the night. It was . midnight
when she again tried to compose her
self and forget h:r fears in sleep, but
her efforts were in vain.
. Soon after she had got Into bed,
she caught the smell of kerosene,
smoke and the indistinct sound of
burning wood was borne to her ear.
Rising she hastened to the back porch
and discovered the fire burning freely
beneath the porch. Waking her hus
band, she ran Into the street shouting
"Fire,"- and immediately , the neigh
bors responded. Her husband was
pouring water through a crack onto
the fire when several other men ar
rived. Teddy Houseworth tore away
several hoards and the blaze was en
tirely extinguished.
E"n:exljcred Seeing Bos.
Then Mrs. Haden remembered of
having se3n during a day a paste
board box through a small opening
that led under the house and led the
way to the hole. The box was dragr
ged out and in It was a short, thick,
lighted candle. Around the box was
piled pap'r, straw and small wood
and all had been thoroughly saturat
ed with kerosene as had been the
wood on the fire under the porch.
Night .Officer Kearney was; sum
moned but had small clew upon which
to work. The box and candle were
taken to the police station where it
will be held in case th?y should be
needed as evidence.
. Mrs. Haden thinks the "firebug".
had made his preparations the night
before, for sh)e not only remembers of
having seen the shoebox, but recalls
that the steps to the porch seemed to
have been moved and replaced. She
thinks It probable that the culprit
aropnea a ngnted matcn through a
crack of the porch to start the fire
which he had set. ' . ...

There Is only one argument ever advanced against e lectrlc lights.
That la, that they coBt a trifle more, to operate than the "antiquated
