children to the store to purchase bucket
of gasoline The child brought the fluid
into the house and set it down alongside
the kitchen stove, and then went off to

children entered the room, and thinking
the bucket contained water, picked it up
and, without examining its contents, poured
it into wash boiler, which was sitting on
the stove. There was hot fire burning in
the stove and in an instant violent ex-
plosion occurred, shaking the house to it's
foundation. Three children were in the
room when the explosion occurred. and all

cured, and the force of the shock threw
her off her feet. The kitchen was badly
wrecked and the walls and windows lOos-
ened
