points out several ways that tho fire in
 the garage might have started. Net Wssk of laeenAiasy
 The fire at the garage started on . joist of the building where it joins the window frame, making an angle. This is deeply charred and furnishes almost positive evidence that 1t was right In this little corner that the fire had it's origin. To place a match there would have been possible, but not an easy matter, and one wishing to burn building would be apt to use combustible material and not gently lay . match down on hard wood ioist, although 1t was known to be more or less saturated with oil. It would have been very easy to throw burning material through the broken window if one wanted to be sure of doing thorough job.
 Kerosene Would Have Spread
 The chief points out that had kero- sene been sprinkled about, the blaze would have spread rapidly instead of being confined in a little corner long enough to eat its way deeply into the hard wood of joist. While the blaze had worked upward, from appearance es it is evident. that it's course was slow. To the chief it looks as if lighted cigar or cigarette if laid or thrown so it landed in the corner, might have caused the blaze after period of time. While this is only a theory 1t might have happened. The chiefs experience also has taught him that incendiary fires are not usually started so early in the night as was the fire at the garage.
 Wants Further Proof
 While Chief Arnold is not positive. and, very naturally, can not be posi- tive, as to how the blaze started, or whether or not 1t was of incendiary origin, still he sees nothing in the two recent near-Rres to cause the citizens any alarm. He feels that such stories should not be bandied about without more evidence than has been pro- duced SO far, for such tales tend to frighten timid people and cause them needless worry. If frebug is work ing in Putnam there will be further evidence of 1t, but until there Is. Chief Arnold says, in his opinion Put nam people have nothing to get ex cited or alarmed over.

 The clerk attempted to call Attor- ney Charles L. Torrey, but was unable to locate either MT. Torrey or his part ner, Judge M. H. Geissler.
 While the clerk was telephoning the mayor was looking through the rules governing the procedure of the coun- cil and called Alderman Dugas' atten- tion to section 10, page 156. The mayor read the rule as follows: When a vote has been passed any member may move a reconsideration who has voted in the affirmative there of at the same meeting, or he may give 1 notice to the city clerk within twenty four hours of the adjournment, or hf' intention to move . reconsideration al

 In support of his motion, Alderman Dugas told the council that his con .tituents in ward three were opposed to the amendment and that he felt that the citizens in general were op- posed to it. He said that the two rep resentatives of Putnam in the genera assembly and the senator of this dis- trict were also opposed.

Orc Hobart, farmer, leaving near

were trailed Into Rock Island and
were placed under arrest by Sher-
n John g. Miller and Station Of
nicer Gus Kirseh of the Rock Is

afternoon. The authorities then

that the stolen tires were found ON

Fuhlmer elaine ownership of the
tires. which he declares were on
his machine when he purchased It,
and had never been removed. Ho-
bart claims to be able to identify
the tires a. his property by
scratches On the tires and marks
Of repairs. He also claims that
when the tires were stolen one of
the valve caps was left in his ga
rage and that when the three tires
were taken of Fuhlmer's machine
one tire was found to be without
valve cap. However. Attorneys b.
F. Schriver and ]. w. Maucker
are attempting to show that Hobart
cannot identify the tires as his
property.
Hobart says that Meyers is his
cousin. Meyers and Allsup are said
to live in Muscatine, although they
have been staying for some time
at the sawmill where Fuhlmer was
arrested. Fuhlmer's home is in
Rock Island. Hobart seemed to be
more bitter against Allsup, who, he
said, had come by his farm month
ago with a punctured tire, and he,
Hobart. had patched the leak and
pumped up the tire and made no
charge for the service. "Then my
tires were stolen" Hobart said.
