Oil Stoves Cause Two Small Fires,
Woman Burned.

Last evening about half-past eight
o'clock the Island hose company was
called by still alarm to No. 102, at
the west end of Ohio street, to suppress
small blaze in the house occupied by
Mrs. Henrietta Murray. The fire orig
mated from a gasoline stove which
Mrs. Murray attempted to fill while it
was very hot. The liquid caught fire
and flashed upon Mrs. Murray, whose
arms and face were painfully, but, IL
is understood, not dangerously burned.
The flames were communicated to the
carpet, curtains and other highly COM
bustible articles in the room, which
were burning briskly when the hose
company arrived and made short work
of it with the chemical. A large basket
Of newly washed clothes were among
the items consumed.
