had gone few blocks, when he thought
he smelled something burning. Soon he
felt the fire on his person, and on look

hands to keep it from his person, and
burned his hands and also his body be-

lump from his wagon and get under the
sprinkler and let the water on in order
to stop the flames. For further partlcu-
