Was Ignited 10 Not
Known.

(From Thursdays Dailv.,

cTOm InurSQayS Da1ly.)
Taking fire In some inexplicable
manner. the large Firestone touring
car of DR.. w. s. Pearce was completes
~ destroyed early yast evening in tho
~ destroyed early last evening in the
East River street. The fire depart
ment answered an alarm turned in
about 6:30 o'clock and making a
quick run to the scene Of the blaze
fought the flames until all the gaso-
line and oil had burned out OF the
machine. The automobile burned for
about an hour and was consumed even
down to the tires. What the exact loss
amounts to has not been determined.
put tho cost OF the car was about
$4,000 when new and was in first ciasn
condition at the time 1t was destroy
ed. Dr. Pearce carried insurance on
the machine.
The exact manner In which the car
caught fire is not known. DR.. Pearce
stated thAt he had gone into the yard
Tor the purpose OF taking the car IN
town without. the lights burning, and
was standing on the running board
and In the act OF turning on the
switch when the car famed up.
As quickly az he could get to tele-
phone DR.. Pierce, called the fire de-
partment. Owing to the muddy streets
the automobile fire truck did not make
as quick o run to the scene of the
fire as could have been made had the
streets been dry and In good condition.
Nevertheless. the run was made In
good time. but owing to the rapfdity
with which gasoline and oil burn the
hre had gained considerable headway
before the department arrived. AS
generally known, Water has but little
effect on gasoline or oil fire, and in
this instance the fire department was
able to do but little toward quenching
the flames. 80
