GARAGE AND AUTO DESTROYED . BY FIRE Between two and three o'clock on Sunday morning the garage of Mr, Cephas Pym on the bth concession of Usborne, together with an Over- land touring car were completely destroyed by fire. Miss Myri>l.e Pym was awakened,, in. the early morning by the • light and the cracking of burning timbers and she quickly awakened the family and the alarm was given. Neighbors were soon on the scene but the flames had gained such headway that nothing could he done to save the garage. The gar- age was situated several rods from. the barn and the falling sparks threatened to destroy it and but for the heroic efforts of the men and the fact that the., night was calla, it un- doubtedly would have fallen a prey to the flames.
