tirely the yellow muddy waters of the creek
A smell OF gas and oil WAS perceptble, and
several gentlemen back OF me were discussing
the danger should the oil catch fire. Hardly
were ths words uttered when about 200 yards
up the stream a mass Of flame was seen to
shoot heavenward.

people turned like STAN peded cattle and start

when terribls explosion rent the air and the
