Thursday afternoon by Mrs. ]. w. Cur

tables and the playing began. A very
pleasant series of games followed, no
formal score being kept. The main
purpose of the hostess was that her

this she succeeded perfectly. At six an

Automobiles Burn.

There was a hot fire last Saturday
night at the Willard Automobile Co.
garage on Cakes and Voolfolk streets, in
which two $3.50 Buick machines were
burned.
One of the autos had just been put
Into the garage and Victor Kihm was
filling the tank with gasoline. All at
once the fire flashed up and he ran for
dear life. 1t is presumed that an over
heated box caused the trouble. No one
knows just how the accident happened.
Browning Millard and Geo. w. Lee
were in the office and also had a close
call.
MIR. Willard attempted to get the Lee
auto out and in doing so was quite badly
burned on the cheek and neck.
The fire department had to lay a long
string of hose and by the time water was
secured there was not much to save, ex-
;cept to keep the fire from spreading.
A 6o-gallon gasoline tank in the garage
had been recently filled and strange to
say there was no explosion, notwith-
standing the fact that the tank was in
the very hottest corner of the building.
The crowd of people gathered near did
not seem to realize the great risk they
were taking.
John and Browning Willard and DR..
H. A. Davis had equal interest in one of
the autos, the Willard boys owning the
|'tools themselves. They carried 5000 in
surance in some eastern company on the
auto, but nothing on the tools valued
from 500 to $500. The store building
belonged to the Kosteleckeys. The sec
ond auto burned belonged to Geo. w.
Lee and was also insured for 5000.
DR.. G.. A. Perkins had taken his auto
out of the garage just before the fire,
but lost machine extras to the value OF
$50 to $50, fully insured.
The Willard Automobile Co. hope tc
replace their Buick at an early date.
