NEWS OF THE SLOPE
VICTIM OF RIVALRY OF TOWNS.
Arrest on Arson Charge Rouses Bitter
Feeling.
A bitter spirit of rivalry which
amounts almost to a feud between
the towns of Kermit and Noonan in
this state has been roused stilt more
by the arrest of one of the leading
merchants of the former place oil a
charge of arson, brought by mer
?hants of Noonan. The building burn
ed was a store which was being
moved from Kermit to Noonan and
which was to have been used for an
establishment which would threaten
serious competition for tfce man who
is charged with having applied the
torch. The circumstances surround
ing the affair were such as to aggra
vate the fee'.ing on both sides, and
the intensity of the spirit is growing
with every hour.
C. H. Manhart. a prominent hard
ware merchant of Kermit, is the man
acciisel of setting fire to the building.
Krrmit people are firm in their belief
fh.at Manhart is innocent of the
charge.
The circumstances surrounding the
ourning of the building are* rather pe
culiar. The store buildinf had been
purchased by the Great Northern
Townsite company from the Kermit
Mercantile company, and it was
planned to use it at Noonan as a store
for C. L. Rouse & Co.. who were to
put in a hardware stock. When the
building was about a half mile east
of Kermit the crew, or a part of it,
became so intoxicated that to move it
farther was impossible, and a watch
man was left rn charge of the build
ing, the intention being to move it
farther nest day.
Bet we- u 1 and 2 o'clock in the
morning the building caught fire an
in a few minutes was a total loss.
The watchman ran to Kermit and
gave the alarm. Noonan ousiness
men claimed next day to have traced
the firebug to the rear of the Man
hart store. Complaint was made
against Manhart and he was arrest
ed.
Manhart asserts ihat he was many
times approached by Noonan business
men who wanted him to move from
Kermit. He claims that a Noonan
townsite agent offered him $200 to re
move his hardware store to Noonan.
He refused to consider the proposi
tion. and claiirts that he was inforni
ed that a hardware store would be
starteij at
Moonan which would put
Manhart's friends claim that the
blaze probably was started from a
spark from an engine nearby or
(through the negligence of the men in
charge of it. They predict that the
prosecution will be unsuccessful.
Meantime the bitter feeling between
the two towns is increasing.
