FIRE IN TRUCK BED

Thomas b. Robertson was greatly
surprised person on Friday after
noon, about two O'Clock, when in re-
sponse to the continued honking of
a horn directly behind him, he pulled
his truck to one side, in front of his
store on Main street, in this town,
and glanced back to see what it was
all about" and discovered he was
carrying a first class fire in the bed
of his truck, where a quantity of
burlap and other packing material
was ablaze.
The autoist had been following Mr.
Robertson for some distance, attempt
ing to warn him, but without avail,
and the further the truck Travelled
the higher the blaze rose. The
burning material was soon dragged
from the truck bed into the street
and extinguished with water by
Clarence Alexander, employed at the
nearby garage of Scott Wilson &
Son. The damage done was trifiing.
but the escape from a first class fire
was narrow
The superstition is the blaze was
started by a cigarette smoking
riding in the cab with
Mr.. Robertson; said smoker having
tossed his cigarette butt away, the
wind evidently whisking II back into
the truek-bed, where 1t set fire to the
burlap.
