"The IU Police Department is investigating a fire in front of and on the stone sign outside of Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity, 1210 E. Third St., early Wednesday morning. IUPD Capt. Jerry Minger said police, while driving by the house, saw flames coming from a beer bottle. A cloth wick was found next to the bottle, he said.

Minger said it is possible the arsonist could have put the wick into the bottle and thrown it, lighting the sign on fire.

"The implication is that there was some sort of combustible liquid in the beer bottle which was used in connection with the flames on the stone," Minger said."
