Especial to The Reformer)
PUTNEY, Dec. 81.
This town was visited by $4,000 fire
last night, when the garage conducted
by Walter E. Parker was badly dam
aged and several automobiles were prac-
tically ruined. The garage is a wooden
structure owned by Charles L. Thwing.
Mr.. Parker intends to continue his
garage business, but whether in the
present quarters or in some other loca-
ton has not been determined.
The fire started in the office while
Mr.. Parker was at supper, and when he
opened the Office door and rushed in
to see what could be done the flames
met him and singed his hair and eye
brows and burned his face slightly
When Mr.. Parker started for supper
he turned down the fame in an oil
stove which was in use to heat the of
flee, and he supposed the fame went
out. While on his way back to the
garage at 7.15 O'Clock he met two lit
tie girls who told him that the garage
was on fire. Mr.. Parker was inclined
to be incredulous at first, but the girls
were so earnest that he hastened his
steps and found that the Office was in
flames
Mr. Parker undertook to remove the
oil stove, which was in flames, but
the flames had progressed SO far that
nothing could be removed. He then
notified the Cole paper mill and the
alarm was given and the steam pump
started which put the hydrant system
in operation. In this way the total de-
struction of the property was prevented,
the men on the hose doing prompt and
efficient work.
Meanwhile Mr.. Parker, with the as
sistance of man who was quickly on
the scene pushed Mr.. Parker's Ford car
out of the building. 1t happened to be
nearest the door and was the only one
not seriously damaged.
Cars which were badly burned were
Mr.. Parker's large passenger truck
with which he has been making trips
to Brattleboro, an International truck
owned by D. c. Vass, a Buick owned by
Postmaster F. A. Burditt, Chevrolet
owned by George T. Aplin of East Put
ney and seven passenger Jackson
owned by William Harbott, manager of
the brick yard.
| The engines in most of the cars viii
operate, but the cars are wrecks so
far as the woodwork is concerned.
Mr.. Parker has over $1,000 worth of
supplies on hand, besides many tools,
and on these there will be some sal
wage. He carried $1,000 insurance on
the stock and tools, but the cars were
not insured, with perhaps one excep-
tion.
The roof was burned off the front
part of the building, but the structure
can be repaired. A Liberty bond owned
by Mr.. Parker was destroyed and some
war savings stamps which were his
property were scorched, but they can
be redeemed. Some paper money owned
by the dramatic club was burned, but
silver money belonging to the club was
recovered.
The building was erected several
years ago by G. l.. Thwing and was
operated as garage by his son, George
Thwing, and DR.. Harry Lawrence be-
fore it was leased by Mr.. Parker.
