EXPENSES
BLAZE SINGEING GIRLS HAIR
AWAKENS COUPLE TO DANGER
E. G.. Currier and Rena Lathrop
Forced to Jump from
Burning Roadster

Edwin c.. Currier and Miss Rena
Llthrop, both young people OF Middle
sex, were forced to jump for theirlives
Sunday afternoon when from some un-
known cause their Ford roadster caught
fire on the highway near the Farms
worth Four Corners. The car, which
was of the light speedster model,
painted fery red, was burned to the
chassis, a loss of $4,000
The flames started in the rear of the
car and had singed the young lady's
hair before the coupled discovered their
plight Currier drove to the side OF
the road against the bank and with Miss
Lathrop jumped to safety. No sooner
had they alighted than the fire reached
the gasoline tank, when the flames
scared 10 a height OF ten feet, though
without explosion. Three wheels and
tires were removed without damage, as
well as the hood of the engine. The
radiator was not injured although the
heat twisted several other parts OF the
machinery. The occupants both lost
their coats
Mr.. Currier and Miss Lathrop had
been visiting friends in Middlebury
Sunday and were on their way back to
Mddlesex where the former is en-
ployed by Will Lathrop, father of the
girl, on a numbering job. Currier is
nephew of Lewis Currier, employed by
E. E. Wisell of Middlebury. His
parents live in Whiting Miss Lathrop
is well known in Bristol.
Parties living in the house near the
scene of the fire said that they had
noticed the blaze in the rear of the
Ford as it descended the hill two
hundred yards away. The wreck re-
mained where it was abandoned for
several days before being removed by
the Burlington dealer from whom it had
been purchased and who held an insur-
ance policy Of $25000 upon it.
William Gibson of Middlebury, who
was among the first to arrive at the fire,
assisted the young people in returning
to this village, where they remained
over night
