_______________

Caused by the Omnipresent Fire Cracker.

The house of the Lemuel Clark estate in Pittsfield, was burned late Tuesday night. The fire is supposed to have been started by fire crackers. They were shooting off fire crackers in front of the house early in the evening and the boys finally went away. When they returned at 11 o'clock there was no evidence of fire any place but at 1 o'clock the whole back part of the house was discovered to be ablaze. The loss is $1400, insured in the Washtenaw Mutual.
