dangerously, perhaps fatally, burned
while fighting the flames Mr.. Mason
Is a subject of sudden fits and when he
saw the valuable meadow IA mass of
flames he eXcitedly rushed out and be-
gan fighting the spread of the fire.
This excitement brought on one OF the
fits and the man fell helpless in the
midst of the flames. He lay there, un-
able to utter cry for help, while the
fire burned his clothing and flesh.
VIII Fletcher, who had seen his fall.
rushed in and dragged the now half
dead man from the field.

bone and the flesh was charred and
blackened. Mason now lies In dying
