Such were EXPLANATIONS heard last
night at s O'Clock, when Rock Island

as far as Market square. Hundreds
of pedestrians and scores of autos
and motorcycles sped toward the
scene.
AS the crowd turned the corner
near the postofHce, all it saw was
little shed burning. 1t made good
fuel, however, and the flames shot
Is to 90 feet in the air sending a
shower of sparks. The fire laddies

fire was of incendiary origin, as he
found fire in the shed Saturday
