Second Arson Blaze Causes $8,000 Loss
A church fire at First United Presbyterian Church on East 5th Street caused about 8000 dollars in damage just under 24 hours after a 35000 dollar blaze at Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church on Linden Avenue. Officials say the same arsonist may be responsible for both fires. The Rev. Nelson Warner reported extensive damage including a destroyed communion table, chairs, reredos, a cross, and candlesticks, with the pastor’s study ransacked and evidence of entry in the kitchen and nursery areas. A burned kitchen match and a recently dated church check were found. a newspaper from Thursday was found in a supply room. Choir practice had been held Thursday night and the last person left around 10:45. The department investigated a potential link between the two fires.

Rural Texas Family Faces a Year of Odd Misfortunes
St Clair family relocates to a rural Waco area seeking peace but endures a string of accidents and animal incidents. A gas tank explosion sparked a house fire while a rabid skunk bit their dogs. A possum family moved into the chicken house and bit the mother, a poisonous snake fell into the well, a niece fainted at breakfast, and the two year old suffered pneumonia on Christmas. Mrs St Clair fell from a ladder and dislocated four joints. A stolen doll required a 40 mile return trip to Temple. A Brahma calf jumped fences, and Mrs St Clair cows the herd on crutches.
