An Incendiary Fire On Broadway

The fire department was called out at 7 o'clock Sunday evening by a small blaze at the house at 1009 Broadway. The fire was evidently of incendiary origin, as there was no one living in the house. It is an old tumble-down frame house, owned by Dr. Wm. Saunders, of Grand Rapids, and is an eyesore to many of the people in that locality.

The fire was put out before any damage was done except that of blackening the clapboards on one side of the house.

The firemen were again called Monday morning at 7:15 by a smudge in the cellar of the house occupied by Dr. Wm. Marsh at 519 E. William street. Some old boards, which were near the furnace, became ignited in some way and made a good deal of smoke and a little fire. The blaze was put out by the use of chemicals and no particular damage was done.
