THREAT TO BURN

A LARGE FACTORY. BUT NOTHING OCCURRED The head of a suburban cabinetmaking concern in Christchurch was recently informed that the biggest fire that had ever taken place in Christchurch would occur at this establishment at the end of the month. The threat was not made direct by any telephonic or. written message, but was communicated to him by two members of a lodge who overheard such a conversation. The result of the threat was that the factory was immediately protected by the employing of a watchman. The employees also gave practical assistance in that direction. When the end; of the month pass: ed without anything untoward occurring, it was considered* that the threat was not intended to be taken seriously.
