Elmer Daly recentl rnlgud. bookkeeper at the White Rock mill, to accept work at Central Falls, “The big truck owned by Herbert Wilcox of Westerly started on Monday with a load of furniture and household ef- fects of Mr. Daly for Central Falls. On reaching Washington the household goods caught fire from some unknown cause and were consumed or destroyed in the effort to save. The truck was traveling at a moderate speed when the operator’s attention was directed to the fire by the gyrations of a man at work in a distant fleld. Then the rear end of the load was a mass of flames. It is believed to have been a case of spontaneous combustion. Part of the body of the autotruck was burn- ed,hbut the damage is comparatively light.
