A truck laden with ~shrubbery and
owned by William A. Dalrymple,
mysteriously took fire at the corner
of John street and Broadway last
night and but for the quick action
on the part of the local fire COM
panies would have been completely
demolished. Mr.. Dalrymple was run
ming south on Broadway and had
stopped to let off a man he had
given a lift. In less time than it
took to again start the machine, the
fire started beneath the car. Many
seemed of the impression that a
leak in the gasoline line was re-
sponsible for the fire. The cargo
and the body of the truck were both
burned considerably. The top of the
truck was demolished. The damage
is estimated to be in the neighbour
hood of three hundred dollars.
