Burning Up the Car

We have often heard Of cars burn
ing up the road, but Messrs. Fred
Noble and A. Cleaves Of the A. b. S.
Co. had the misfortune to reverse the
old saw last Friday afternoon in front
of the McMillin ranch and the road
burned up their car. That road was
filled with a mass of russian thistles
and they attempted to go through but
the car was stalled and the sparks
from the engine set fire to the weeds
and although several of the neighbors
hurried to their assistance the car
was almost completely ruined before
the fire could be put out.
