There must be something in the air that is causing men to attack women at the drop of a hat. A young man is going to stab a young woman with whom he shared a relationship for reasons best known to himself.

The fires are back. It is no longer careless use of lighted objects but deliberate attempts. There have been three so far. The next fire would be the result of a drunken argument. Again the losses would be significant.
