REBUILT TRUCK IS
ACCEPTED BY CITY
Original Velie Firemen's Car
Climbs Hills Weil-Test-
ing the Hose.

Back from the Velie shops after
having had a new engine installed the
original motor truck of the Moline
fire department is at the No. = station,
having been accepted after a test
made yesterday afternoon. The truck
was deficient in horsepower, so a 10
horsepower engine was placed in it
and the tryouts show that ii is now as
speedy as the new Velie truck which
is at the No. station. The rebuilt
car climbed the Sixteenth street hill
at the rate of 10 miles per hour and
the Fifteenth street hill at the rate of
% miles, while on a straightaway it
ran As miles per hour with ease.
The new aerial truck which is be-
ing furnished by the Boyd company of
is now completed, accord
ing to Commissioner Eastman and
may be shipped any day. 1t will cost
IS, 200.
The Moline commission is consider
ing buying the "Maude s." the light
truck which was loaned to the depart
ment while the No. truck was being
rebuilt. The company offers it for
$500 and if purchased it will be used
to carry emergency hose and will be
stored at the central station.
Commission Eastman states that
the only point in which the Moline
department is now below standard is
in its hose equipment. 1t has $500
feet in regular service and 1000 feet
for emergency use. Some of this prob
ably is unsafe because of age. Tests
were begun today by which it is pro-
posed to find how much of it is in con-
1ition for use. Next spring it is pro-
posed to buy 1000 feet more and this,
It is figured, will make the depart
nents equipment complete so as to
conform to the eXacting demands of
ire insurance companies.

ferred by Will Oldfeld. who is about

Minton admitted that he owed Old

manner in which the latter endeavored
to collect il. The magistrate assured
the southerner that his manner OF
showing his resentment, while it

HIDES HIS MONEY
IN BOX OF WHEAT
East Moline Man Withdraws
Cash From Bank, Friend
Withdraws 1t From Him.
AT LEAST THAT Is THEORY
Flax NoVack Intended to Invest S642
in Lot but Someone Finds Its
Hiding Place.

Flax Novack, living on Seventh ave
nue. in East Moline. is shy SCI and
an erstwhile friend. He strongly sus-
poets that the money and the friend
went away together. The story he
tells the East Moline police, while
strange one, is believed by them and
they are trying to locate the friend in
the hope that this will result in the
unraveling of the mystery of the dis
appearance of the money.
Flax on Saturday had $642 in an
East Moline bank which he had been
saving to buy lot and start a home.
Having picked the lot he desired he
drew the money out of the bank in a
lump sum, so he says, and then took
it home and hid il because he was not
ready 10 make the investment at once.
There were not many good places
around the Novack home to hime S642.
Flax hunted in vain for some time for
a satisfactory receptacle and finally
hit upon a box filled with wheat which
stood in one of the rooms. In the wheat
he buried his treasure and then forgot
about it for "A hours or so.
Used as Chair.
Sunday the friend paid Il visit to
the Novack home. and being a guest,
and therefore entitled to the use of the
most comfortable article of furniture
he was given the box of wheat to sit
in. His visit was a prolonged one and
he occupied his well upholstered seat
most of the time.
Finally, however, he left and several
hours later Flax thought to look for
his money. 1t was gone. He remem-
bered that his friend had been sitting
in the wheat and sought his friend.
He was missing, also, and nobody APP
peared to know where he had gone. !
The police are not very hopeful of get !
ting the money again, though they
are trying diligently to locate the |
friend.
