Boys Ring False Fire Alarm, Call Firemen, Police to 'Cliffe

Two unidentified youths set off a fire alarm at 2:30 a.m. yesterday in Radcliffe's Eliot Hall, but fled before police and firemen arrived. The only witness Suzanne R. Hiatt '58, reported that the pair drove off in a blue station wagon.

Radcliffe officials speculated that the boys intended to ring the fire drill bell, but instead rang the alarm which summons the police and fire department.

The boys apparently gained access to the box, located in the front hall, with a front door key, since fifteen minutes earlier, a night watchman said he had checked the door and found it locked.
