A fire believed to have been
started by a vagrant spark from an
arc-welding outfit yesterday after
noon completely razed Ihe Keno
garage on the west end of Keno
community.
The oue-story frame building
burned to tho ground In leas thnn
an hour. Owner Joe DeOraude
managed to save a truck he was
working on hulde the shop and a
few tool and Items of equipment,
but most of hi eaulnment
and stock of the garage went up In
smoke.
UeOrande estimated the damage
at "close to $4000." The shop
stock Included new tires, tubes, some
spare part, barrels of oil, containers
of grease, a (pare motor and the
like.
UeOrande said he was welding
on the truck when a spark appar
ently fell through the floor of the
shop and Ignited an oil-soaked tim
ber below. The fire spread rapidly
under the flooring of Uie garage
and wa too tar gone to fight when

to avoid explosion.

a maximum velocity of 18 miles and
there was no damage, but small
craft warnings were hoisted until
