Flames Envelope Car 
There was considerable excitement 
at Dennis’ Manchester garage Thurs- 
day evening when the gasoline tank 
on the large winter touring car of 
Mrs. C. A. Munn caught fire and en- 
veloped the big machine in flames. 
Mr. Briggs, the chauffeur, had just 
returned from a ride and was filling 
the gasoline tank on the car when the 
tank overflowed and some of the gas- 
oline running along to the hot muffler 
ignited. Flames shot up fifteen feet 
in the air, set fire to the canvas can- 
opy and destroyed that, burned the 
baskets on one side of the car and 
scorched the car considerable, besides 
destroying one tire. The total loss is 
estimated around $400. But for the 
quick work of Edward Killam and 
_ several others on hand, who turned fire 
extinguishers on the car, the loss 
would have been greater. 
Somebody telephoned for the fire 
apparatus, needlessly, and an alarm 
was sounded from Box 52, the engine 
house. The apparatus did not leave 
the house, however. 
A large touring car, owned by F. 
M. Whitehouse of Manchester, was 
ditched in Charlestown Thursday 
night, as chauffeur Richard Rolls was 
riving the car from Boston to Man- 
chester. Mr. Rolls could not bring 
his car to a stop as he approached an 
excavation made by the water depart- 
ment in City square, and the machine 
fellin. It was the same car in which 
Mr. Whitehouse toured Switzerland 
last year.

chase was made in the interests of
