Automobile wrecked BY Fire.


w. d. Lewis. OF Hackensack. N.
j.. tourist ON his way home from Z
trip to California by automobile, had
the misfortune to have his machine
wrecked by fire last Friday. Mr..
Lewis was on his way home. accom-
panied by his wife. mother-in
and chauffeur. and had reached .
point about five miles east Of La
Junta, near the Reynolds ranch.
Something got wrong with the ma
chine. and a stop was made to reme-
dy the trouble. While engaged in
the get down and get under act." J.
b. O'Neil passed that way and stop
ped to ask II there was any assist
ance he could render. He was ad-
vised that there was no serious
trouble. and that they expected to be
on their way In few minutes.
MIR. O'Neil continued his journey,
but before he had gone very far look
ed back and saw the stranded ma
chine In blaze OF fire. The occu-
pants OF the car had made hasty exit
and were standing around helpless
gazing at the burning machine.
There was no water available, and
although an attempt was made to ex-
tinguish the flames by throwing dirt
on them II proved futile. All but
the two front wheels and the iron
work Of the machine was utterly de-
stroyed, and that the blaze was q
hot one Is attested by the fact that
the iron frame OF the machine was
badly warped.
The machine In q Chevrolet, six
cylinder. forty-eight horse power.
and cost 32.5OO. II was insured for
&l.+O0. and this amount was paid to
Mr.. Lewis last Wednesday evening
BY . representative OF the insurance
company who came down from Dem
yer TO adjust the loss. What IL left
Of the machine Is being stored at the
b. Z O. garage.
Just what caused the fire is
mystery. The car was aaturated
With oil. having bean on the road for
several weeks. and the machlns was
envcloped In flames almost IL Cd ia-
stant. Il IL presumed it bscams ov-
erheatet, and this combined with
the oil saturation made ignition easy
from an electric spark.
Mr.. Lewis and his family were
guests OF the Harvey Touie during
their stay In La Junta and left last
"Wednesday nisht for their home In
Hackensack. n. J.
