Ed Peters automobile was put out
| of commission in an accident that oc-
Cured at the Mabbett & Stark garage
Saturday morning when workmen were
engaged in cleaning the engine with
gasoline. A stream of the fluid used
ran along on the cement floor toward
the heating stove until what usually
happens when the fumes of gasoline
come too near fire took place and in
an instant flames spread and enveloped
the machine About this time an alarm
of fire was sent in and the department
responded quickly but in the meantime
the fire was extinguished by line OF
hose in the garage and their services
were not needed. Though the work
room is separated from the main gar
age by fire wall, the bnilding filled
with sitting smoke that gave the ap-
pearance of a more serious matter than
was really at hand to contend with.
The fire, however, ruined couple OF
new tires, the magnetic and wiring and
the entire car will need repainting. The
machine was taken to the factory at
Racine for repairs by Mr.. Peters on
Monday. Insurance carried in Henry
Johnson's agency will cover whatever
the cost to repair the damage. At the
time of the fire the Mabbett & Stark
garage was filled with cars and car
load of new Overlands had just been
received the day before so more seri-
Gus fire would have entailed an impor-
tant loss.
