evening By another elevator fire. This time tue
Central Elevator, owned by GEier d. Co., and
tho first one ever built in Peoria, was burned to
the ground. The fire was discovered about

doubt that the premises were fred BY an IN

that there exists deliberate combination to IN
lure and ultimately ruin the Peoria grain trade
by burning down her elevators. Extra precau"
tions were taken at the other elevators here
and heavy force Of watchmcn put in each one.
