Two Rubbish Fires
Keep Firemen Busy
Fires Which Start in Easements Are
Closely Scanned by the Fire
Officials This Morning.

Two fires which started in rubbish
piles in the basement of buildings kept
the fire department busy late Monday
night and early this morning and the
chief was busy today making an in
yestigation of the fires to determine
the cause of then.
The first fire was at the home of Sam
Rowaldo, 1872 Brockett street. The
house is owned by James Billotti and
the basement of the building late in
the evening. The man who lived alone
in the house had been taken to hos
pital during the day for an operation
on his eyes. Firemen said today that
they had smelled kerosene in the base
ment but they held that this might
have been from a can which had been
left there The loss was in the neigh
borhood of hundred dollars and it
was covered by insurance.
Just after one o'clock this morning
the fire men were called to the Palmer
restaurant on West Prairie avenue
when a fire broke out in the basement
of that building. 1t was necessary to
turn on the water and before the fire
was under control the smoke, flames
and water had caused damage of
several hundred dollars and had routed
out the occupants of the hotel above
the restaurant. The fire appeared to
have been caused by spontaneous COM
bustion. The loss was covered by
insurance.

On Thursday he had come up on pas
senger train and was returning on the
freight train. He had just made
round of the cars at Kenosha and had
returned to the caboose. He had some
old shells which had been loaded with
black powder and he some doubt as to
whether they were of any value and he
decided to try them out. We are of
the opinion that bullet fired from one
of these shells may have glanced off
stone or from rail and struck the
man who was injured. Lynch never
knew The man Dubinske and when he
fired the shots he believed that he was
outside the city of Kenosha"
The statement of Lynch to his
superior officer and to the sheriff was
that the revolver had been fired from
the door of the caboose 81 thought
that we were out in the country"
Lynch told his superior officer at the
Jail this morning. Zone of the other
men was with me at the time and we
went to the door of the caboose to try
out the gun" Lynch said that he
fired six shots from the revolver at
different points along the way after
the train had pulled out of Kenosha.
1t was said that it was his opinion that
the first shot was fired somewhere in
the neighborhood of the Strong street
crossing. The statement closely follows
the statement of Lubinske who declar-
ed that the freight train was passing
at the time of his injury and that he
was making an attempt to run about
in front of the train. While Lynch
stated that he fired up into the air
it is just possible that the shot was
fired downward.
The solution of the mystery is
largely due to the work of the mer-
chant police officer He had been a
friend of Lynch and the two had talked
together in the yards of the railway
on Thursday night only little while
before the shooting. Lynch had the
gun in question at the time he was
talking with Keul and his statement
in regard to the shells led Keul to be-
lieve that he might have fired the
shots. Lynch came back to Kenosha on
his train Friday evening and the first
he knew of the shooting of Lubinske
was when he was told by the officers.
1t was stated today that Lubinske
was rapidly recovering from his wound.

Seek Man in Vain.
Motorcycle officers took the road at
once and sought to find the man who
had been responsible for the accident.
Smith said that he thought the man
was driving a sheridan" car, but all
he could say about it was that it>was
OF a green color. 'The man came so
fast and the accident happened in such
short space of time that we had no
chance to see him or to get the num-
Der of the car" declared Smith to the
police officers later on. The members
of the Smith family were able to leave
Kenosha in the early afternoon and
they drove their damaged car back to
Chicago. It was the first trip which
had been made in the Auburn car and
1t was not insured against collision.
1t is believed that the car which
struck the Smith car was damaged in
the collision but no damaged car an
swering the description of it could be
found In any of the Kenosha garages.

James W. Lynch, twenty-nine years
of age and residing at 512O North Lotus
street, Chicago, employed as a detec-
tive for the Northwestern Railway
company, is believed to be the man
who shot and slightly injured Joe
Lubinske, proprietor of the Brassville
Hotel on Thursday night just after
eleven o'clock. Lynch was arrested on
Friday night by Sheriff William Rauen
and Merchant Police Officer Keul and
was held at the county Jail pending an
examination into the case. He made
a frank statement to the sheriff and
Chief O'Hare in which he admitted
that it was possible that he fired the
shot which struck Lubinske in the
temple causing a flesh wound. 1t is
certain that Lynch did not know any,
thing of the shooting until he returned
to Kenosha on Friday evening and he
promptly admitted that he had fired
shots and that one of these may have
glanced off from stone or a rail and
struck Lubinske. Chief of Railway
Detectives Dineen Of Chicago came to
Kenosha just after ten o'clock to make
an investigation into the case and it
was forecasted that Lynch would be
released after further investigation.

Lynch in the municipal court and it
