On March 2 8 the shearing plant and corrals, together with a house and other buildings, belonging to J N. Williamson, were burned to the ground, his barn alone being saved. A fire was started In the manger of the barn, but for some reason it went out, though not without leaving some very valuable evidence for the use of the detectives who were put to work as soon as the authorities were noti fied of the burning.
