and at present owner of an automo-
bile and taxi-cab service, lost his
Ford roadster last night when it sud-
denly took fire and burned in a few
moments being reduced to a mass of

cupants had a narrow escape from be-
ing scOrched by the flames and had
no time to save such articles as were
lying loose in the car. Mr.. Gurdane
Is at a loss to account for the cause
of the fire but thinks his gasoline
tank must have been leaking.
The fire occurred near the Mumm
ranch north of the city about o'clock
last evening while Mr.. Gurdane was
returning from Holdman With him
in the car were DR.. r. Il. Ringo and
a stranger. AS soon as the fire
flashed up, the occupants jumped and
attempted to eXtinguish it with dirt
but their efforts were futile and the
car was completely enveloped In
flames in few moments. AT the
risk of being burned, Gurdane reached
in and secured the physicians medi-
cine case but was unable to save his
own coat.

the fact that the engine continued
running until the machine had burned
so far that the rear wheels had fall
len apart, according to the story of
the occupants. "The old engine was
game to the last and died fighting
