Fire Prevention Day Designated By Governor To Be October 8th.

October Bth is designated by Governor Marshall as ‘‘Fire Prevention Day.” All residents of the state will be called upon to get their places in readiness for starting winter fires. Fire Chief Montgomery states that if every resident of this city will observe this day there will .be fewer fires and property losses. On that day, if not before, all flues and chimneys should be inspected. All trash and rubbish should be removed from danger spots and all stoves and pipes carefully looked after.

behind Dean was refuted by a high official today. The impression has gained ground rapidly the past twenty-four hours that T. B. Dean is what he pretends to be, simply a business man who tried to get a franchise and found he had to pay for it. It is believed that after he made up his mind to get after the grafters he took expert advice from detectives and probably had direct assistance in the work of the dictagraph. Dean is keeping out of Gary. All the evidence is securely guarded and the work is done, so far _as he is concerned, until the cases come to trial. Dean writes friends here that he was warned of trouble if he remained here. He says he will be on hand when he is needed, but the “records” of the dictagraph, he insists, are sufficient for conviction without any testimony from him.
