A Chalmers roadster belonging to Joseph Carbo was totally destroyed Wednesday night in Carbo’s brickyard caused by the backfire of the en- gine. -Mr. Carbo was trying to start the engine when she backfired, and he’did not notice anything wrong at the time. A few seconds later the rear of the machine was afire. There evidently was a leak semewhere in the tank. It was too risky to put the fire out as the tank was filled with nearly thirty gallons of gas and the imminent danger of an explosion. Within a few moments after the ig- niting the whole machine was ablaze. The car was covered by insurance. Registrars Correct Lists.

Mr. Rockwell did not land and | get another, but continued on his way and made the remainder of the flight to this town with a “one-lung- | er.” The noise of the engine while over the town was great and sounded like a skipping automobile engine.
