Automobile Burnt. No Explosion.
Mr. Holcombo residing on tho Schatz
farm flvo miles south of tho city, lost
hlB Oakland car Wednesday by fire. Ho
started to this city to do some trading
and when ho got about a half mile from
homo he felt the car grow hot under his
feet Ho jumped out of the car and It
was Immediately enveloped in flames.
The car burned to a junk pile that
could novor be recognized as an auto
mobile. Luckily there was no explosion.
Thero was evidently a leak In tlie gas
tank and as soon as the flames struck
it there was a sound as of the exhaust
of a locomotive.
Just how the Are started Mr. Hol
combo does not know. He thinks that
it was probably started from the ex
haust and a leaky gasoline pipe; Onco
before the exhaust threw fire out and
set tho prairie afire, and he thinks that
it probable shot out in this way
gasoline that was leaking from some
where. Ho watched it burn from a
safe distance. The car was partially
covered by insurance, being insured for
1,000. Mr. Temple went out yester
day to adjiiBt tho loss.
