aoening fire in the automobile garage f the Kenyon Machine and Auto Re- pclr Co. at the corner of Main and Union streets The alarm was from DON 5e. located at that corner.
 The fire was first seen by some yours; meE who attended a dance in Hibernian 'han, which is in the imme- diate vicinity and there was no de- law in sounding the fire alarm or in the response of the Hremen.
 The pCoperty includes a two-Story wooden building with garage on first floor with one-story ell in front for the office and a large ell in the rear for tine machine shop. The fire started fronv some unknown cause in the rear of the main building and in the room where there were five automobiles. This room was a mass of flame when the firemeH arrived and they fought the fire in the most effective way un7 der direction of Chief Cottren. Al though the building was practically a Htorehouse of inflammabale material, the fremen succeeded in keeping the flames confined to the interior of the building. and the only exterior evil dence of fire is the window panes that we're cracked and broken by the ex- cessive heat The interior of the building is considerably burned, es- peciaIIy in the rear, and the rest IS badly scorched and damaged.
 A car owned by E. Court Bentley is a total loss and another car owned by Mir. Bentley is also considerably damaged.
 pr, Frank I. Paynes runabout is damaged to the extent of $500 and a gunsbout owned by Martin H. Spell man is probably damaged to a like amount
 The car that was in the best condi- ton before the fire. and the most most valuable of the five that were in the garage, is a late model owned by Miss 1I Louise Sullivan of New York. The car is burned considera- bly, but it is believed that the en- zine and underbody work can be read fly repaired.
 The estimated loss on automobiles is S7,O00, partially insured. The build ing. owned by Hattie N. Woodward Is damaged 10 the extent of $1,000 and the estimated loss of the Kenyon company in machinery and stock is placed at s1,000, thus making a total estimated loss of 5000.
