HAS CLOSE CALL
Car Owned by Carlson Bros, in
Moline Scorched in Blaze
Damage Is $100.
A delivery truck, owned by Carlson
Bros, of Moline, caught fire while
standing in front of the Modern Wood
men building, about 4 o'clock yester

to have started from a back-fire in
the motor, igniting oil in the pan.
