oil was belched upward into the air, and fell
to the earth like stream OF molten metal

August Guenther were closest to the exploded
still. They were enveloped in the liquid
shower of fame, and in an instant nothing
but charred and horribly disfigured rem
nants remained of what they had been.
William Stahlman was a short distance
farther away from the still than his COM
panons. When the mass of flames descend
ed upon him his clothing was consumed like
SO much finder. He made n wild and des-
perate effort TO escape, but soon succumbed.
When the fire could be sufficiently subdued
to allow the firemen to enter the Enclosure,
the remains of the three workmcn
were removed 10 the adjoining pump-house
and plac ed upon shutters. The bodies of
Fisher and Guenther were the most horribly
burned. Scarcely vestige of them remained
below the hips, and the upper portion of their
bodies were 30 charred that they could
scare ely be recognized as the remains of hui
