 Fire Of Apspicious origin de- stroyed motor cars owned by John I've of Tulip street and Arthur 1 Washburn of Park street this morn- ing about o'clock, when the gar arge owned by William Hempel at 11S Tulip street went up in smoke. Three fire companies responded to the call, but so great was the head
 way of the flames that little could be done except protect the nearby | houses. The alarm was turned in after John I've, who lives near the ! garage, was awakened by the glare of the flames upon his bedroom window. He sent in the call for the
 firemen and tried to rescue some of
 the property in the garage but the heat made 1t impossible. Because of the suspicious circumstances an in-
 vestigation was started by Fire Chief
 John w. Hayes. Dana ges will be about $2,O00, partly covered by in- ! surance.
