BLAZE MYSTERY
To Department
Home Destroyed by Fire, But No
One Seems to Know Who
Lived in Residence.

Fire practically destroyed a
frame home at 1885 Twentieth ave
nue., Moline, at 1890 this morning,
but nobody can. give any informa-
ton as to who lived in the house.
The fire started in the basement
and had gained considerable head
way before the department reached
the scene. The blaze was gotten
under control about one hour after
the laddies had started the fight to
save the home. No one seems to
be able to give any light as to who
owns or who had been living in
the home. Neighbors stated that
they heard that the home had
changed hands about two months
ago and that more than a week ago
some family had moved in, but no
one has been seen coming or go
ing from the house since that time.
When the residence was search
ed it was found that only a few
pieces of furniture were there. One
old bedstead, a chair and cook
ing stove was all that was found.
Chief Hawk can give no explana-
ton of how the fire originated.
Something must be done to curb
these cellar fires" said the chief,
For the last two weeks there have
been four fires and each had its
start in the basement, and when |
try to determine the cause l am
given only evasive answers. They
don't want to tell me where the
fire was first discovered, if the
is covered by insurance;
liz fact, they even try to dodge
when they see me coming"
