ATTEMPT TO
DESTROY SCHOOL
HOUSE BY FIRE
Incendiary Tries to Burn Geary
Building No Clue to
the Miscreant
Lost nieht about nine o'clock,
someone attempted to destroy the
Geary school building by fire, but
ih hlnze was discovered In Its In-
cipiency and the costly building was
saved.
r. reiiuiufiiuu. .. v -
Fourth street, west of the school
building, happened to go out on his
porch at that time and noticed the
flames issuing from under the steps
neighbor and they ran over and Boon
had the names exuuguisuuu. n
seconds after Mr. Pennington notic
ed the flames he saw a man run
away. The night being very dark,
the man could not be recognized
ana no description ti mm i,uu.u
obtained.
Mr. Pennington foundi that a wool
en rags haa been saturated with oil
and Ignited. Chief of Police Far
rington. who was notfled. immediate
ly afterward, visited the scene and
found that the rag was a piece o?
green skirt. He gathered up what
was left of the cloth with a view of
using it to ascertain where It came
from and in that way secure some
cine to the miscreant, but so far has
been unsuccessful.
Vr damage was done to the build
ing further than to scorch the door
over where the fire was set. Had
it not been discovered at that time
the blaze would have been beyond
control.
The police are working on very
sllnht duo, but there seems to be
small hope of apprehending the
wretch who lighted the fire. Parl
ous theories are advanced, among
them being that some boy who has
been punished at school or who has
been expelled, wished to obtain re
venge in this manner, but there Is
no evide e at -all -definite along that
line.

training for a cross-country rare to
bo held sometime toward the end of,
January. This race has been al
ready prepared, through the effortB ,
of President Hug, and a course will'
be selected In a few days. There are
to be medals for the winners and
probably a cup for the class scoring
the greatest number of points.
Resides this cross-country an Inter-class
relay ia being planned.
Each team will consist of four men
who will each run one-half mile.
Debate Changed.
The debate between the Albany

Dr. Franc Lucie Hard has

Father, mother, brother, sis
ter will appreciate the sen
sible gift of an order for a

combining the useful and or
namental In the Christmas

It. N. Honey, the contractor and
builder, yesterday, upon noticing
that a cement walk Is being built
In front, of the Campl ell residence
property at the corner of West
N'lnth and Ollva streets, grew rem
Inescent and to.d n number o by
standers that one day In iSil he
killed two d'i"ks winch were wlm
mlng In the slough that existed there
In the early days. At that time
there was not much of a city hero,
but wltlun a half block of whnie
the ducks , were killed stood a
blacksmith shop. This wns where
the McFarland blacksmith building
now stands, at the corner of West
Eighth and Olive streets. Wll'am
etto street, only a block away, was
somewhat of a bualness thurotiKh
fate then, but there were very few
buildings) near tho Campbell lot.
Mr. Honey says he killed the ducks
ahout where the lot corners w!th Ihe
ailty which extends between It ant
:h'i Innegan brick block. For yearij
there existed a big slough In Ihe,
vicinity, extending from that point
t.ortl.erly and thence easterly past
where the new government post-
office building Is to be located, and!
on out toward the manufacturing
district, emptying Into the river.
Water stood In portions of the
lough all the year round and msny
old-timers recall the days when
ducks were killed every winter
where fine residences and business
blocks now stand. Where the new
three-story Dunn-Wllklns block Is
now belrjg built the water was six
and eight feet deep every winter.
