M. J. Kuboske Has a Close Call To Keep Buick From Burning.

M. J. Kuboske, proprietor of the Rensselaer Garage, was in Remington Sunday in his Buick automobile and stopped in front of the garage to fill ther gasoline tank preparatory to making a trip north. The tank filled sooner than he expected and the gasoline splashed on the lamps and caught fire. He threw the blazing can into the street and managed to extinguish the blaze with a chemical engine before the tank exploded, but the car was enveloped in flames for a short time and it was remarkable that the flames were extinguished before the tank ignited and exploded.
