An iron curtain was hastily lowered
and the audience, which at first thought
the burst of fire was part OF the spec

RoEHMs AUTO is BURNED.
Fire May Have Seen Started by
Spontaneous Combustion.

SPONTANEOUS Combustion.
The six passenger Kissell car own
ed by Paul p. Roohm OF Laurium was
destroyed by fire near Point Mills last
evening. The cause OF the fire is not
known. but it Is thought possible that
IL may have been started by spontan-
eous combustion. The car had been
thoroughly overhauled this week and
was in fine condition I'm every way and
no other reason seems plausible.
Mr. Roehms son. Hiram, was driv-
ing the car and when a snort distance
from Point Mills, it got into a mud
hole. The engine "choked" and Mr..
Roehm got out and "cranked" the
car. Immediately afterward, smoke
was noticed coming from beneath the
floor boards and an investigation
proved that ne car was on fire. Efforts
were made to extinguish it without
success and as the fire was located
near the gasoline tank, the occupants
found il necessary to leave the car,
50 as to be out of danger i'm case Of an
explosion The car was almost COM
pletely destroyed by the flames. \
new gasoline tank and pipe leading 20
caIbureter were installed this week
and there is hardly any possibility of
the fire having been caused by a leak.
The loss is not stated, but the car was
insured
