BULLRUSH BLAZE
LIGHTS HEAVENS
Leads to Rumors of DESTRUCTIVE
Fire in the West
End.

Fire in the bullrushes in a big slough
located east Of Mill street lit up the
sky for several hours last night. The
fire originated about 6 o'clock and
continued to burn for several hours.
Exactly what caused it is unknown.
The slough is about two miles long
and one-half mile wide, and the dry
rushes burned rapidly. The flames eX-
tended heavenward to a height of %
feet and caused a red glare that could
be seen more plainly in Davenport
than Rock Island, owing to the refiec-
ton in the river.
Davenport residents began to Won
der whether or net there was large
fire here, and the rumors originated as
a result The local fire department
was called to the scene, but did not
journey farther than the city limits.
No property was damaged, but the resi-
dents of that section fought the flames
and prevented the blaze from causing
any loss.

report that the notorious Lincoln club
contemp,ates moving from its present
location, Twenty-fourth street and
Second avenue. To a vacant house near

hind the decent element CT their own
race.
Tie Lincoln club bears the reputa-
tion throughout the country as being
one of the toughest negro joints in the
United States. and il is alleged the
change in location is contemplated be

upon those interested.

against the proposed action. and are
determined TO fight the move to the
finish. They state that a joint of the

MURDER MYSTERY
STILL UNS0LVED
No Developments Reported To
day in Connection With the
Schoessel Staying.

There were no new developments
in the Schoessel murder mystery to-
day. Various suspects are being put
through the third degree, the sweat
box sessions being conducted by Chief
Brinn and members of the plain
clothes squad.
So far as could be learned this
afternoon, no confession has as yet
been secured. The search for others
believed to be implicated in the killing
is still being carried on.
The authorities have thus far been
unable to trace the origin of the bull
dog revolver, found in the Eugene
Field school yard, and that clew has
not proven productive. The theory
has been advanced that friends of
the murderers might have thrown any
old gun into the yard with an idea
of diverting suspicion from the real
criminals. The police have stated
that old gunner would not discard
their weapons, and il is possible that
friends might have thrown the weapon
in the yard in order to place the
on a wrong scent.
