Fire staring about 11:30 o’clock this morning completely destroyed the garage, stable and other outbuildings of Mr. Joe H. Carver on Reams Ave. The fire was supposed to have started from a short circuit in Mr. Carver’s Chevrolet automobile, as just before the flames were first seen the horn was heard continually blowing. The machine was destroyed as were several other pieces of farm machinery. Owing to the direction of the wind, neither of the adjacent residences were damaged.
