MR. EARR’S, BAR "
MAllE ill/ELY BLAZE

 

The'car of Herbert V. Carr, 3. car-
penter, or, to be specific. the Lizzie of
Carr, or the smallest of cars, caught
on fire, last night. just like a regular.
machine sometimes does, and. for a
while, the people along Main steed.
werewatching Carr and car as they
’Wfitfipfie sfeet’ih’afhtfie’sf efforT
to go like blazes.

It seems that Carr is deaf, and the
“car” is deafening, and although his
car was 'on fire. the carpenter did not
know it was afire.

Then. bail to the chief and his no-
ble helper, Captain Sylvester Brother-
ton. ably helped by Deputy Chief W.
J. Powell, rushed to the rescue of Liz—
zie, in the most approved fashion of
the lady savers, and they carried with
them a large liquid container. Not
the kind some ladies like to be saved
with-—but the kind. however, that Liz-
’ zie adores bathing in.

Both firemen bathed the wounfl
members of Lizzie’s machinery. and
when the fire had been put out, the
only thing effected was a few wires.
possibly clothes lines, that were in

 

 

the backyard, or rather the rear end
of the Ford.

Powell testified. this morning. while
on the grilling stand for a Sentinel
reporter. that he had yelled his lungs
out trying to attract Carr’s attention.
The whole population of Main street
seemed to be hollering when‘ the
“car" and “Carr” passed through. but
nothing could attract or distract
Carr's attention from the yrheel.
Carr’s senses of spitting and the
burning senses of the car, forced the
driver to look around and find» out
that “car” was on fire and that Carr
would» be if he didn’t do something
quick. ,

It was the valiant firemen. Brother-
ton. and Powell, however, that saved
“car” and '.‘Carr” for another trip or
trips. ~
