I've checked out a rumour that Leo Henry's house was torched early
yesterday morning. The incident was confirmed by a source in the
community, as well as, in a Buffalo newspaper article.

According to the article, Mr. Henry, a chief of the Tuscarora Nation, was
not home at the time that two molotov cocktails apparently ignited the
blaze, causing extensive damage.

The house was not unoccupied, however. An unidentified house-sitter
managed to escape unharmed. She called 911 and was taken to local hospital
for examination.

A benefit dinner is being held, on Monday April 28, 1997, for Mr. Henry
and his family.
