INGENDfARISI TAKES QUEER TURN IN LOSS
OF lEJORA'S SCHOOL State Fire Marshal's Office In
vestigating Work of Fire-
Bugs in Billings Incendiarism for which no possible
justification can be found is believed to have been responsible for the destruction of the public school building at Medora, which H. L Reade, deputy state fire marshal, now is investigating.
The tHdldincMras Vufced Ifrv thtf
ground after a previous attempt, made tiie night before had failed. In the first effort shades which had been removed from the windows by the teacher were restored by the destroyers, in order that residents in the neighborhood of the school might not see the flames, and a large section of flooring in the vicinity of the stove was saturated with oil and ignited. The flames burned out after consuming a space of about six feet, and the damage was not discovered until school was opened the following morning. Tracks were found, and the footprints of a horse believed to have been ridden by the fire 'bug were traced to a point two miles from the school house.
And that night the incendi'&rist returned and completed the job.
There had been some little argument as to the location of the school, which is now situated on the east side of the Little Missouri. A majority of taxpayers wanted a school on the west side of the river, and the school •board recently had voted to comply with their wishes and 'build a new school there. This friction, therefore, can hardly be held responsible for the destruction of the old school building.
While in the western part of tbe state, Deputy Reade also investigated the burning of a school at South Heart.
