outgrowth OF, a suit which was heard
in court of Justice Van Noorden last
fall.
AT that time a farmer sued Mr.
O'Donnell for a sum Of money claimed

years.
The evening of March "a, when the

FLAMES DESTROY
STEEL TANK CAR
Silvis Yards is Scene of Sunday Morn
ing Fire Which Results in Loss
to Rock Island Road.

A steel gasoline tank car Of latest
design was destroyed by fire at 2
o'clock Sunday morning in the east
end of the Silvis yards. The car was
the property of the Rock Island road
and it's destruction causes loss to the
company of several thousand dollars.
Sparks from an engine ignited
quantity of gasoline that had escaped
from the tank, the stop Of which in
some manner had been knocked out.
The flames quickly found their way
into the tank and within a short time
the car appeared to be a mass of
flames. The binding glare of the fire
was to be seen from a considerable
distance. Efforts made to check it
proved futile.
The tank car was one lately &C
quired by the Rock Island road and
was the last word in a conveyor of
that kind. Officials of the company
are at loss to explain the removal
OF the stop.
