A garage at Mr. Charles Barnett's residence, Railway street, and two 'cars, were destroyed by fire about 2:30 Friday morning. It is supposed that a short-circuit in one of the two second hand cars stored in the garage caused the fire. One of these had not been used for some time but the other had been returned to the garage about an hour before by Mr. Barnett. The fire was first seen by Mr. H. Ches- ney from a side street. A long frame cattle shed separated from the burn- iing garage by a narrow footpath was saved' by the prompt work of the fire brigade. No cattle were in the shed but five calves gave trouble for a while 'hy their- persistenlbly returning through the stabile door was only a few feet from the fire. The garage' was originally built as a seem,pl'e room and office For the Lukes flax mill. It was a well fitted structure, built at a cost of $900, and was later b'ough't 'by Mr. Barnett. The loss from the fire will be about 8500 above insurance on the cars and building. An overcoat and an 'expensive' Scotch plaid shawl were in 'the rear seat of 'hIr. Barnett's car. A piece of:: the overcoat lining and a burnt piece of s'ha'wl survived. ROBERT MURRAY Word was received here on 'Wed- nesday of the death at the Ssufl't 'Ste.
