DISASTROUS FIRE At ELK0
Simcox q LAM Garage Complete
ly Quilted Tuesday Night; All
Automobiles Saved

Elko Independent Oct. 2: Fire
completely destroyed the Simcox q
LAM garage last night. and for a
time it looked as though the Mayer
hotel was doomed to destruction.
The garage was packed full of auto
mobiles. but all of these were saved,
even the two that yer over the pits
undergoing repairs.
The fire started in the south corner
of the building in the work shop. Its
origin is a mystery, but the proprie-
tors are inclined to believe that it was
the work of an incendiary. They base
their judgment on the peculiar hour
that it started. the fact that
there was nothing in the shop which
might have caused spontane-
GUS combustion, and the further
fact that all the electrical wiring was
such that it could not have started
from that source. But they haven't
the slightest suspicion as to who
might have committed the dastardly
deed, If il was, indeed, the work of
an incendiary.
1t is estimated that the total loss
is in the neighborhood of $40 1000. In
surance was carried for $1,000.
The loss to Messrs Simcox and
LAM is a severe one. They are two
of Elko's most enterprising young
men and practically all they had was
invested in their business. They
will be some time in recovering from
their loss. They announced to-day
that they will start work of rehabili-
tation at once.

they are fastened to their legs. The
ants have no set time for their toilet
operations, but clean up whenever they
get soiled.
