Wednesday morning at 1880 an alarm Of
fire was sounded from box Al near the 4th
ward school house. The fire was located at
the grocery store of w. l.. Eaton. The
family occupy the second floor for living
rooms. Blanche Harding, girl employed
by the family started to fill gasoline stove
before the fire had been entirely turned out
causing an explosion. Mrs. Eaton at once
grabbed the stove to throw it out of the
house, when her hands, face and neck were
terribly burned, and most of her hair burned
off. The neighbors by this time had heard
the women screaming and had hard work to
subdue the flames which they did before
great deal of damage was done. The fire
department responded promptly tn the call
ing was so frightened as to go into Mysteries
requiring considerable attention. Mrs.
Eaton has suffered greatly ever since the
her eyes being swelled shut, her
face and hands covered with blisters. DR..
Arnold is caring for her and thinks she
will come out all right.
