    furnished for their children. One night at two o'clock, men masked and armed came to the building and ordered the occupants to get out. It was not long until about five people came out. Bottles of oil were thrown in through the windows and broken in side. Sticks dipped in oil were set on fire and thrown in after the bottles of oil. This set the whole building in a blaze. It was not long after-wards when the men left and were not heard of since.
