Second Attempt Made to Burn Out Nick Krull at Kentland

The Kentland Democrat states that the second attempt to fire the Krull bakery at Kentlnad was made Sunday night, Sept. 15, the first attempt, which resulted in several hundred dollars damage, having been made just a week previous. An oil soaked newspaper l and kindling that had been placed just behind the screen door was partly burned, but had smouldered out before igniting the wood or the inside door and door frame which hafi also been saturated with coal oil.

It is not known, of course, whether Mr. Krull has some enemy who is trying to burn him out or whether the town has a firebug, who thinks Nick’s bake shop a good place to start a fire to burn out the business district.

Mr. Krull, was formerly in business in Rensselaer and still has many (friends and acquaintences here.
