BAD FIRE
AVERTED
By PLUCK
Especial to TIE TINES

crown Point, Sept. THE west side
of the public square luckily escanad
what might have been a dangerous
and damaging fire last evening whom
Cadillac automobile, BELONGING r.
Herman Fedler of Hammond. caught
fire from an explosion of gasoline in
Obright's garage. Only the pluck and
courage Of William Upright. owner Of
the garage Mr.. Fedler and several
other bystanders who rolled the burn
ing machine into the street. saved the
building and the adjoining livery stable
from going up in smoke.
As it was. the ceiling Of the garage
was badly scorched and the gentlemen
in question show the marks of some
bad gasolene burns on their hands.
Was Filling Tank
Mr.. Fedler, about so o'clock. drove
the Cadillac rooster over to the garage
to take on supply of gasoIene, pre-
paratory TO making a return run to his
home in Hammond, and Mr.. Upright
was in the act of filing the tank
when the explosion occurred.
The cause of the combustion is not
known. as neither men were smoking
but it is thought that the lamps in
front of the machine, which were
lighted at the time. were responsible
for the accident. Fedler's machine was
badly damaged, the top and cushions
being completely burned and the ma
chine badly married before the flames
could be extinguished. The fire de-
partment was called out. as If was
thought at first that the garage was
on fire, but the flames in the machine
were extinguished without their aid
through tn efforts Of the crowd. which
had congregaed to witness the un-
usual accident.
Not His First Explosion.
1t is said Mr.. Fedler was some time
ago the victim of an accident in a gas
olene launch, of which he was the
owner, the craft catching fire during
cruise on an adjacent lake the cause
of which was just as mysterious and
unaccountable as that which happened
to his machine last evening Fedler
left the automobile in the local garage,
where it will undergo the necessary
repairs before starting on its return
to Hammond. It is estimated that at
last $500 damage was done to the car
by last nights accident.
