Man accused of arson and fraud at Washington home
An alleged arson and insurance swindle case surrounds Joan F. Nieson a 40 year old boarder housekeeper at 21 New York Avenue Northwest. Police say she planned a fire to claim losses from German American Fire Insurance Company while taking her aged mother to a park and sending her wife away. Nieson was arrested with detectives Howlett and Pratt and held for appearance in Pollercourt. He claimed items from the blaze included jewelry and clothing, seeking reimbursement from the insurer. The case links to prior residence in St Paul Minnesota and purchases at jewelry firms, which vendors deny knowing Nieson.

Father Aivah Doran of the Philadelphia missionary apostolate writes from the chapel car St Anthony describing successful missions to non Catholics at Idaho Falls and Blackfoot Idaho. The mayor of Idaho Falls offered to pay all expenses to stay another week.
