Two automobiles in the east part of the ‘garage were saved by the firemen} before flames reached them. One was covered by insurance. The cause of the fire was not etl nitely determined this morning by Cap- tain F. A.

Men in the building about 7 o'clock ldst nieht told the fire authorities that the fire in the stove was shut off rt that time. Mr, Quinn was in Denver, Colo., at the time of the fire and it has not been learned definitely the exact value of the office books, and other equip- ment in the garage. The garage was used as a repair shop for motor cars, much of the work being that of re- pairing automobile tops. Two lines of hose were used in put: ‘ting out the blaze, the job of completely extinguishing the fire taking about an hour. It is the first big fire to be re- corded In Casper this year. ——_—_—_—____ know whether Martens could be FILIPINO WOMEN ‘WANT VOTE. located.
