Bisbee daily review., 1905-12-19

Colonel RandoIph's Car on Fire Colonel Epes Randolph had an early call to breakfast in Los Angeles last Tuesday that he did not ignore. He had been living in his private car at the car park at the Arcade depot since his arrival in the city on Monday. In the car is a Baker heater, and as the morning was nippy. the porter started a brisk fire in this stove. preparatory to the colonePs rising for his coffee and rolls. While the chef was busy preparing breakfast in the car kitchen, smoke began to fill the car, but it was supposed to come from the kitchen range until a passerby saw the roof of the car about the pipe of the Baker heater to be on fire, and gave the alarm. By the time the Tlre was extfnguished a large hole had been burned in the car roof, and the interior damaged so thst it was unin- habitable. The car was sent to the shop for repairs and the colonel moved to the Van Nuys hotel, where he fin isned his breakfast.
