 Truck Catches Fire.
 Prompt work on the part of P. J. Buckley last night saved his deliv- cry truck from being destroyed by fire.
 Mir. Buckley was on his way from town west of Waterbury, where he had made several deliveries, and was proceeding toward Waterbury. Just before he reached the Lake View Inn on the outskirts of the city he noticed a glare which seemed to come from under his truck. A moment afterward a flame shot out from under the en- zine and enveloped the hood.
 Buckley stopped the car and jumped out. He opened the hood, the flames having subsided when the car stopped. as there was no breeze to fan them. Mir. Buckley looked about for some dirt to throw on the fire, but finding none. he resortcd to the next best thing.
 He blew the fire out. By emit ting short, sharp puffs, he was able to put the fire out, although it was l.an exceedingly hazardous procedure since the gasoline tank was but a short distance from the engine After squelching the blaze he pro- ceeded on his way and left the car at a garage in Kensington. It was found today that the fan belt had parted and the engine had become overloaded.
