A number or insurance adiustors
are In Norfolk today cleaning up
claims for the various flames that
have occurred within the past week.
This morning an adiustor went to the
barn burned last night, which was
the property OF Mr.. Breed. and
upon which was insurance to the ex-
tent of 5000. II is the opinion of a
number of Norfolk insurance men that
the fires are being set by firebug
either for the purpose of stirring up
excitement that stealing and plunder-
ing may be done or for the purpose
of getting revenge. A trio Of crooks
in town last week are suspected by
some. On Thursday night watch
thief was arrested in the Peerless res.
taurant and jailed After midnight
the building burned. That watch thief
had two pals. Four fires two nights
later and another last night show uE.
usual activity and unusual cause in
these fires.
Through the action of the last
meeting of the commercial club the
business men and property owners OF
Norfolk are to have an opportunity

men who have been seeking their own
individual interest and amusementS
