TWO BIG RAILROAD FIRES
Roundhouees at Clinton and Clarion
Destroyed by Fire Same Night
Plot Suspected.

Clinton.-Fires breaking out at al
most the same hour, at points in Iowa
approximately 200 miles apart, en-
sirely destroyed two railroad round
houses. and in each instance badly
damaged thirteen locomotives, caus.
ing a total loss to the railroads of
quarter of million dollars.
The Chicago & Northwestern road
ost its fourteen stall roundhouse at
Clinton by fire. This loss was esti-
mated at not less than 5000, 900.
Half an hour after the Clinton fire
was discovered flames broke out in
the Great Western roundhouse at Cla-
rion and so rapid was the spread Of
the fire that the structure was burned
10 the ground and thirteen locomotives
the full capacity of the house, were
badly damaged. The loss at Clarion
is estimated at. $4,000 for the round
house and another $25,00O for the
damaged engines
At Clarion the fire was discovered
few moments after the last engine
had been placed in its stall.
The night foreman, Joseph Mann,
and a dozen employees of the rail
road company were in and about the
roundhouse when the flames were dis
covered Almost instantly the entire
place was enveloped in blaze. wh1ca
gained such Roadway that no efforts
to remove any Of the engines or other
property could be made
The existence of a widespread plot
to cripple transportation facilities In
the state is suspected. A thorough
and inststent investigation will be
started. In each case the origin Of
the fire is unknown and of suspicious
nature.
