destroyed the garage and store
room of the High Point Motor
company, No. 129 Hamilton
street, entaihng a loss of thou
sands of dollars. approximate
ly So automobiles went IEs
the blaze, which is believed to
have been of incendiary origin.
The amount of insurance carried
and the total loss incurred had
not been ascertained early this
afternoon.
The fire is thought to have
started on the third floor Of the
building. when the firemen ar
rived on the scene the flames
were making remarkable head
way. The fFemen fought the
blaze heroically for several
hours, but it was impossible to
save the structure. Most Of the
automobiles were stored on the
upper floors of the building and
could not be removed.
On the first floor there were
several automobiles stored for
repairs and they were removed
Immediately by the firemen and
employees of the motor company.
However, only a few of those
were saved. It was reported
that four of the machines taken
from the first floor were stolen
while the flames were being
fought and that the thieves had
been apprehended near Mechan-
icsville. The number OF ma
chimes in the building and the
number removed was about IS.
Guy S. Wells, manager of the
motor company, received a cut
on the hand by flying glass. His
condition was not serious, but
he was removed to his home for
medical attention. Mr.. Wells was
able to be out next day.
In the storeroom on the sec
ond and third floors a number OF
automobiles was stored. Most of
them were owned by local citl-
zens, while a few are said to
have been purchased for Christ
mas gifts and we're to be deliv-
cred Christmas day. Upon the
owners of the destroyed cars
will fall the loss, according to a
statement made by the manage
ment. Manager Wells stated
that he had recently posted con-
spicuously in the garage, no
tees stating that all autOmo-
biles placed in the company's
care were left there at the own
ers risk. The company is not re-
sponsible for private cars in case
of'fire, Mr.. Wells said.
