SECOND FIRE ON vIADucr.
Blaze 10 Spectacular But Does Only
Sliaht Damage.

Another spectacular fire, due to the
boilin cover Of kettle OF tar, at 2:30
Monday afternoon, again threatened
the south Third avenue viaduct, but
was quenched by the department be-
fore serious loss resulted. In this
instance the fire started on the north
side Of the viaduct and spread in
both directions, the greatest blaze
being at the north end, where the tar
poured down the approach.
The contents of the large chemical
tanks on the two combination wag-
ons were exhausted and the depart
ment completed the fight with water.
The blaze and clouds of black smoke
attracted considerable attention on
the south side and for time APP
peared to have gained such Roadway.
The department, however, soon had
the fire in hand and the loss will not
be great. The tar caught fire while
being used to surface the wooden
block paving.

vestigation of the Puritan cafe rob-
berry ceased.
Another Case Cleared Up.l
Mrs. Phillips visited Des Moines
at the request OF Sergeant Campbell,
who had secured some evidence
pointing to Earhart as the man IN the
green cap and leather vest VINO
robbed the Puritan. The sergeant
has been working OH the case quietly
confident he would sooner or later
find the stick up" man.
Mrs. Phillips, who had watched the
robber for an hour or more, as he sat
on railing near the cafe. was quick
to identify Earhart, so there is no
doubt in the minds of the police that
the crime has been fixed on the right
man. Earhart is accused OF having
robbed two drug stores at Des
Moines, with the aid Of friend, US
Ing gun to stick up the employees
and customers. He has been identi-
fed by the victims of the Des Moines
