pane. The
alarm was turned in and in a short while the blaze was under
control. The
fire was started near the door of the Circuit Clerk's office
where kerosene
had been used and a quart can which had contained kerosene was
found near the
place. It was beyond a doubt the work of incendiary.
Only slight damage was
done the building and no records were destroyed. Officials

Resigns From Board. Mr. Thos B. Prather has resigned from
the Somerset Board

Catches Chicken Thief. Andy Richardson, colored, made a big
catch Monday
night when he trapped one of the largest owls seen in this
section for some
time, from near a chicken roost of a prominent family in
Somerset. Andy is a
brother of the Journal's utility man, Henry Richardson, who
secured the large
species of the feathery "Hooter Tribe" and caged the
creature for display in
the front office window of the Journal. Take a peep at this
monster which
measures more than 3 feet from tip to tip, as you pass the
Journal office.
This is the first "hooter" of this variety the Journal
has ever been able to
cage and we are very proud of him, as by such catches the flight
against the
H.C. of L. is greatly assisted.
