An afternoon blaze, the origin of which
is not known, but Is thought to have
been an overheated cook store, prac

the building was a mass of seething

lua August, a foreigner employed in
the construction of the new Putnam
building at the -corner of Second and
Main streets, was badly injured by
the mass of dirt falling on him, his
Injuries being of such consequence that
he was removed in the city ambulance
to Mercy hospital. August was work
ing in the northeast portion of the
ground digging a deep trench In which
the iron supports for the new building
are to be placed. The heavy rains of
the previous day and evening had
caused the surrounding earth banks to
become loosened, and the digging dis
lodged about a ton of this earth, which
fell upon him without warning. He
managed to avoid having hia head cov
ered with the earth, and he was soon
extricated by his fellow workmen and
taken to the hospital. His injuries
consist largely of bruises, no bones
having been broken.
Ultimatum by Employing Teamsters,
The situation in the teamsters'
strike is today about the same, al
though several meetings have been
held by both sides. The sides differ as
to the terms offered by the executive
committee of the Davenport Transfer
and Storage Protective association,
the employers stating that they have
offered to permit the men to return to
work at an increase tn wages with the
conditions concerning the recognition
of the union the same as before the
commencement of the strike. The
strikers, however, say that no such
offer of an increase in wages has been
made and that they will not return to
work. A letter sent yesterday by the
employers to the president of the

investigation into the manner in which
Charles A. Fouriner, recently of. Mus
catine, who leaped from the southwest
passenger train of the Rock Island
road Friday afternoon near Buffalo
and sustained Injuries that may yet
result in his death, will be conducted
by officials of the road. Fourtaer is

at times rallied, but soon relapses into
a comatose state, which continues for
some time. His chances for recovery
are still slight, and word will be sent
to his folks in Maine, notifying them
of his condition. William Ryan, who
was with Fouriner at the time he leap

land lines with headquarters in Chi
cago. He will have charge of all liti

ing $16 In currency by the Burling

makes it seem evident that the road
may have lost thousands of dollars in
payment of bogus relief claims.
Following are the letters:

of the company, said that this is the
first record of any money having been
wrongfully taken from the relief de
partment. ' He said that and more
may have been handed out, and a
thorough investigation will be made
to discover other possible steals. One
way, Mr. Dickeson said, would be for
an employe to complain to a local
doctor that he, the employe, had a
sprained back. The physician would
give a certificate to this effect and the
man would lay off. After one week
he would begin to draw full salary
as a sick benefit and he might con
tinue a long while.
