The trial of Frank Baer, William Richardson, and Harrison Fox is now going on in Greensburg. They were arrested for burning several flouring mills in this county. Young Baer, the instigator of the dastardly work, was operating a large flour mill in Greensburg at the time, hence his desire to get rid of his competitors. The evidence produced at the hearing some months ago was strong against them. There is little doubt of their conviction. They should receive the full penalty of the law.
