?. D. L0CAh'S CAR
BURNED Up NEAR
LOUCHhAN
LAST MIGHT

The 1917 Westcott Club roadster,
belonging to p. d. Logan, was com
pletely burned up last night about 3
o'clock about a quarter of a mile this
side of Loughman, when Mr.. Logan,
enroute to Jacksonville, suddenly
found it necessary to jump from his
car, when tire bursted and the car
headed for the ditch. The machine
didn't turn over, but Mr.. Logan sue
ceeded in getting out of the machine
before he could be caught under it. 1t
was only moment or two until the
car was in flames, from what cause
it is not known, unless, there wan
broken connection, which caused the
gasoline to ignite. The machine was
a complete loss. Mr. Logan states he
was only driving about 30 miles an
hour at the time of the accident. Mr..
Logan states there was insurance on
the car, but what amount was not
learned.
