HOW FIRE CAUGHT
The mystery hiirrouliding the

Saturday morning when il. was
discovered that, the remains uf
,!ohn Itlieinbcrger were under the
building. I lis hones w ere found
under the wire mattress of the
luil on which Supt. (iardiH-r
slept, showing that llliejnhcrger
had crept from his upstairs room
to the ground floor, hail gone nut
of tloors, perhaps w ith his t loth
iug afire, and hail crept under the
building directly under the super
inlenileul's room. His cane was
found a few feel away, ami this
was wilh him when he retired.
Il is now positively certain thai
Itlirinbrrgcr had ignited hid
clolhes in his room ami had fled
when ihe flames heeaine too hot
for him.
T It c remains of Itmlolf
(Atlolph) Si rat h w i re found uu
der his room, show ini that he hail
suffocated and perished in his

said Ihat llhcinherger had been
in the hahit of smoking "I niht,
rin.T he had taken his tobacco
away from him cveniiitfs. The
