Mr. Padberg Is of the opinion that ito will not be long until work on the new structure is under way. A well authenticated report reaches this paper to the effect that another attempt was made to fire the town of lone just a night or two af ter the big fire. This attempt was on the skating rink and it was discov ered in time to prevent a conflagra tion. The stove pipe near the roof had been wrappd first with paper and then with old Backs and a hot fire In the stove would not have been long in firing this and then the roof. It Is well known that this attempt to Are the rink was made after the other fire as Prof. Doak, who has charge of the building, had made a complete examination of the pipe leading through the roof the day following the fire and found it all right. Some miscreant certainly has it in for lone, juding from these late developments. in i hi ill v mm mm mm mm . . in m hM,ifl in ... - .-HEW ..GOODS. IB II 1 HI M'MJW in 111 t - .
