SALT LAKE CITY - A window is boarded up at the Leather Factory on 1100 South and State Street. Inside, crews have been working to make repairs from smoke and fire damage in a minor fire that broke out last week.

Salt Lake City fire spokesman Scott Frietag says the fire was intentionally set.

"We don't know who. We don't know what the motive is -- nothing left behind, or nothing sent to us since then that claims responsibility or claims a motive," Freitag says.

But a posting is circulating among animal rights websites with information on the fire.

In 1995, a leather store was set on fire in Murray, causing hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage.
