O'Leary's Cow
Not Responsible
for Chicago Fire
Say investigators

Chicago, Sept. IS. - Mrs.
O'Leary's COW. famed In legend as
having started the disastrous Chi
cago fire of 1871 by becoming dis
gruntled and kicking over a lamp,
actually had nothing to do with the
conflagration, according to a COM
mittee which has conducted a
searching investigation in connec-
tion with a miniature reproduction
Of the fire which is to be given at
its semi-centenniaI in October.
The committees report, Just
made public, declares that the EVIL
dence tends to show that both Mrs.
O'leary and her noted quadruped
retired early the night In question
and that the fire was started by
some means not yet discovered.
The legend that Mrs. O'Leary
went to the barn carrying a lamp
about $50 p. m. and that the COW
kicked 1t over Is exploded, accord
ing to the committee, by positive
proof that Mrs. O'Leary was con.
fined to her bed that day with a
sore foot and could not have gone
to the barn.

ciated Press. "A demonstration and
parade were held Sunday under Pan
German auspices in protest against
"the ignominous peace aud its result
ant evils" Immediate union with
Germany was demanded.
The demonstration was inspired by
the Burgenland situation, which has
not been relieved and continues to
cause the gravest apprehension of an
international political crisis.
In diplomatic circles. it is believed
that Hungary's motive is to go behind
the treaty and bring Burgenland into
the realm of diplomatic discussion.
