About 10 O'Clock that evening the Dodge
car in which they came and which was
standing in the yard between the house
and barn, caught fire, supposedly from
spontaneous combustion of oiled cloths
used about the car which were in a
pocket on the inside of one of the doors.
Considerable excitement was caused by
the fire for a few minutes. Mr.. Shadler
jumped into the car to back it out into
the street, lest more damage be done,
and burned his right hand seriously. The
fire did not reach the oil or gasoline
tanks, however, and no explosion took
place. All the loose articles possible
were removed from the car and the
family and neighbOrs, who assembled
quickly soon extinguished the flames by
the use of water. Aside from the burns
sustained by Mr.. Shadler the most
serious damage done was to the top of
the car through which two or three holes
were burned. DIR. S. +. Dunn dressed
the burns which, though painful, are
gaining.
