While returning from a trip to his old home at Fayetteville last Sunday, the Chevrolet sedan, belonging to ed itor Colin G. Shaw was destroyed by fire. . A short circuit in some of the wir ing evidently caused the fire which was spontaneous and gave the oc- j cupant of the car but short time to get out and save himself. A point near the home of Mr. Tom Griffin had been reached, in Oakland j township, and but for the valuable as- j sistance rendered by him and his boys j as well as others who reached the scene at once, the destruction would have been complete and the woods would have burned off as the fire had begun to scatter. As it was the “spare tire” cushions and the two. front casings were salvaged. It was a dreadful experience and one that will require sometime from which to recover. We greatly appreciate the many words of sympathy that we have re ceived and the generosity of all of those who have helped us m recov ering the parts of the car. There is no little enemy.
