take charge Of a demented man. The fellow
drifted into town during the afternoon and
it was soon noticed that he appeared to be
Of unsound mind. All the information that
could be obtained from him was that his
name was Hohligan and that his home was
probably near Dennison, la. While the
town marshal had him in charge awaiting
the arrival Of the deputy sheriffs, the fell

hicting n slight scratch before detected, and
the knife taken from him. He was brought

Seven Buildings Fired since the
Fourteenth Of JuIy.


Fourteenth of July.
Avoea, the principal town in the eastern
part Of Pottawattamie county, is exper-
fencing a number of incendiary fires Fol-
lowing the destruction by fire OF Fred
Tanke's elevator Friday night. an attempt
was made Saturday to burn down the oil
house of the Rock Island railroad, this
making the seventh incendiary fire the
town has suffered since July Il. The fire,
however. was discovered in time to prevent
the destruction of the building, which
formed one of the group set afire July H.
All efforts on the part of the authorities to
locate or secure any clew to the incendiary
or incendiaries have signally failed. The
method adopted by the incendiary In start
ing the fires has been the same in each
case. Large quantities OF railroad waste
saturated well with oil have been used to
set the buildings on fire and this leads to
the belief that the incendiary is some dis
charged employe of the railroad who is
thus endeavoring to obtain revenge for his
dismissal
