time between the early evening
hdnre of Friday night and 4 a. m.,
Saturday.
And it was at 4 a. m. that the
Camden fire depertment was called
to the Mathis home to extingnisb
a blase that was in a cloaet oft
a bedroom that Mr. Mathis oecn4
pied. This blase ie believed to have
been started by the marauder who
had raiuuteked the house and waa
presnmably caused by clothing be
coming ignited ‘by a match.
The Mathis home waa nnoocn-
pled from an early hour Friday
evening to the time Mr. Mathis
returned at 4 s. m.. Saturday. Mrs.
Mathis wae away on a visit to rela

Mr. Mathis, who was at one time
a member of the Camden police
department had spent the evening
in visiting the boys in duty in the
police department and also the fire
department He returned home
and shortly after he had retired he
became aware of the fire in the
clothes closet He called the fire
department and the blase was con
trolled before any great damage
had been dorm.
And It waa then that the dis
covery was made that the house
had thoroughly rausacked. Mr.
Mathis does not know whether or
not anything of valne had been
taken.
