A big. red colored sport sedan wa* parked along Se.ond Street j thia noon, with the words, “DECATUR FIRE CHIEF,” printed in bronze paint on the door.

It carried an Illinois license plate j and he made the deduction that It i belonged io the fire chief of Decatur, 111., our stater city across the J state line. It was rumored that the Decatur. ' 111., chief was enroute to the Northeastern Indiana volunteer and In- ! dustrial firemen's convention in Berne, which opened there late thta afternoon.
