NE1GHBoRs SEE PEOPLE

Fire which has all the marks Of be-
ing an incendiary one, broke out Sun
day night in the large two and one
half story brick building at 222 South
Second street. The alarm was given
about 1920 p. M, and the fire truck
was soon on the ground It was an
empty building, and the fire was blaz-
ing merrily in the rear. It was soon
put out by the chemical apparatus.
The flames had not eaten through the
walls but burned the paper, charred
the wood work and b1istered the paint.
The fire has the earmarks Of incen-
diarism. When the firemen got there
they could smell kerosene even before
they got into the rooms, and it smellsd
strong when the doors were opened.
Apparently three rooms had been
smeared with oil as was the stairway.
Near neighbors said they saw some
one running away from the building
just as the fire started. The building
is said to be owned by Henry Walton
of Peoria, Ill.
Firemen and insurance agents inves-
tigated the bnilding, and circum-
stances surrounding the blaze, and it
was generally believed that the fire
was of incendiary origin. AS to who
might have touched off the blaze no
one would venture an opinion. Some
Of the neighbors said they saw
matches being struck either in or
about the building. Some Of the de-
bris in the room had been kerosene
soaked, it was found on investigator.

the table. The men soon went away,
and Harris started to write letter.
Just few minutes later Howard re-

men got busy at once. Howard point

gun looked about as big as a cannon
to Harris, and he complied pronto
Howard, who seemed to be master of
ceremonies, then ordered Givens to
go through Harris clothes, and grab
the money on the table. This Givens
did with quickness and dispatch, and
the two men Immediately made their
