Charlie for two freight cars, as
he had a musky long enough to
take two cars-but the cars could
not be spared, as they were all
in use carrying ammunition to
be used against the Germans.

Fire in New House

A fire of an unknown origin
was discovered late Thursday
night by Grant Waggoner and
his brother in a new house owred
by R. F. Gresser in the south
part of the town.
On their way home the ~WAg
goner brothers noticed a bright
light through the window in the
new unoccupied house. When
they looked in they discovered
the flames. One of them rushed
to the neighbors for water ard
the other broke the pane and
went in and tried to put out the
fire. The alarm was rung and
the fire engine went to Mr..
Gresser's old place. Mr.. Gresser
had no knowledge Of the fire.
Then central was called, who
told them of the whereabouts Of
the fire; but before the fire en-
CINE had reached the scene the
flames were extinguished. Only
a two foot hole was burned in
the floor.
Careful examination revealed
the fact that the fire started
from the surface Of the floor and
burned downward. It's real cause
remains unknown. It is thought,
however, that there was q Spon-
taneous combustion OF some
rags which were saturated with
turpentine and linseed oil. Mr..
Gresser declared that he did not
believe that he had an enemy IN
the town who would try to harm
him.
The building was locked tight
and the painters had left the
place at six o'clock; the fire started
near IL. This fact explodes any
theory Of cigar stubs.
