Thursday evening Mr.. L. j.
Liable was cleaning a can that
contained gasoline oil, having
washed thy can for two days with
hot WATER and after the can had
been wiped dry, and every bit of
gasoline was thought to have been
removed, Mr.. Liable approached a
candle to the opening of the can
to look into it to see il it was per-
fectly clean, but before he had a
chance to peep in the can an ex-
plosiOn took place. But, fortu-
nately, Mr.. Liable was only slight
ly burned on the right hand. This
shows how dangerous it is to han
die gasoline oil, and those who
use it daily for cooking and other
purposes should use every precau-
ton, or else, they may suffer very
serious consequences.
