Residents of Weakley county,
Tenn, are stirred up over a series of
mysterious fires that have been
breaking out in the house of Josiah
Page, about two miles from the town
of Gleason. The first blaze sprung
from apparently no cause whatever
last Thursday, and was promptly ex-
tinguished by Page and his family.
Not more than an hour later the
house was again discovered on fire,
in different place, and the blaze
was again extinguished. BY this
time the family was excited, and they
began to hunt for the cause of the

It was a pitiful look for sympathy
which Fred Teppan gave Justice Sab
ath when he appeared in the Max

The prisoners left arm was wrapped
in bandages and it hung in sling.
He had been arrested by Detectives
Theme and Keefe on suspicion of inn
posing on the generosity OF Chicago
citizens.
u have reasons to believe that the
mans arm is not fractured in two
places as he claims" said Detective
Theme.
'And 1 say it is" declared Teppan.
Justice SABBATH questioned the man
closely, and while Teppan was busy
talking to his honor Attorney Epstein
managed to unite Teppan's bandages
without the prisoners knowledge.
Soon the bandages were removed and
the sling united The arm fell ap-
rarently helpless to TePpan's side. 1t
seemed red and discolored, and ap-
parently it had been injured.
Teppan would have been discharged,
but he became excited while plead
ing his case, and, forgetting the two
fractures in his arm, he began to
pound the desk with the helpless"
hand. Then he discovered his mis-
take and declared he had nothing fur
ther to say.
The prisoner had tied the arm so
securely that the blood had stopped.
He had also used chemicals to aid
him in the deception. A fine of ten
dollars and costs was imposed.
