1853, April 26th, Mr. Winbolt, an Upholsterer, Premises were set Ablaze, Chicago.

The alarm of Fire was occasioned by the burning of the premises belonging to Mr. Winbolt, an Upholsterer, at Randolph Street, situated on the alley between Clark and Dearborn Streets. A large quantity of hair and material for mattress making was consumed—no fire had been near the place all day, and it must have been set on fire by an incendiary [device].
