GARAGE AND THREE
AUTOS BURNED
ON THE FARM OF JOHN W. NEW.
COMER, TWO MILES WEST
OF FLORIN, AT AN EARLY
HOUR THIS MORNING
A large frame garage and all its
contents which included three auto-
mobiles, on the farm of Mr. John W.
Newcomer, two miles West of Flor-
in, was completely destroyed by fire
at an early hour this morning.
Shortly before three o’clock this
morning, Mr. Newcomer's daughter,
Miss Katie, heard a cracking noise,
and arose from her bed and upon
logking out of the window saw the
#rage was burning.
Mr. Newcomer and his family im-
mediately went to the scene and when
they opened the garage doors the
fronts of the three machines were
ablaze. They saw it was useless to
try and save the building or any of
its contents, so they immediately re-
moved all the live stock from the
barn which was only a distance of
sixteen feet away.
The alarm was sounded and word
sent to the fire company here. The
neighbors responded and although
our firemen only arrived after the
garage had collapsed, they greatly as-
sisted in- preventing the flames from
communicating with the barn and
ether buildings.
In the garage were three autos,
including a large Reo touring car, a
Ford roadster and a Ford Coupe. The
building was of frame, 18x22 feet
in size with slate roof and everything
was destroyed.
Mr. John Newcomer Jr. was away
last evening with one of the Fords
but arrived home about nine o’clock.
He was in the garage about half an
hour after arriving home, draining
the radiators, ete. The origin of the
fire is a- mystery.
The building and automobiles are
partly covered by insurance.
