The Akem Garage Destroyed by Fire.

Shortly before o'clock on Friday
last, flying end from lighted match
ignited gasoline and grease under car
which had been repaired that morning
in Ahern Bros. garage on Railroad
street, and so rapid was the spread of
the flames that nothing was saved from
the building except new car which
was standing close to and in direct
line with the door and could be quickly
rolled out, and the account books of
the firm. V. M. Ahern, one of the
proprietors, was in the garage also
John McDermott and did their best to
smother the flames with a fire extin-
guisher which 4 had no effect on the
burning oils.
The firemen by good work confined
the fire 10 the one building, originally
one of the old Platt & O'Malley store
buildings which were moved to their
present location, and the burned one
later covered with sheet iron, which
was also used in the interior of the
garage. The frame building adjoining
occupied by Miller Bros. was some
what scorched, and the laundry build
ing was uninjured save for one cracked
window pane.
Four cars stood in the garage were
burned, o. ]. McHugh's Rambler,
Francis Clancy's "Hup" and two Ov-
erlands owned by o. G. Peterson and
Ed Herold, which are practically a
total loss. o. G. Peterson carried $500
insurance on his car and Herold $500;
the others were uninsured.
The Ahern Bros. lose an engine and
generator, all their tools and stock
of tires and accessories with total
loss of over $4,000, against which they
have $1,000 insurance. The Interrupt
ton of their business at this season is
another big loss, but they have ordered
tools and equipment and have secured
quarters in the west part of the White
livery barn.
The building was owned by C. F.
Freehauf who carried an insurance of
$500.
Fred Dies and family occupied the
second story of the building, and owing
to the rapid spread of the flames, saved
nothing but one trunk and the clothing
worn, which was a heavy loss to them,
especially q they he'd no insurance.
