naphtha yesterday. and in acquiring the infor-
nation ruined an embroidered waistcoat and
made short sojourn In Bellevue necessary to
his well-being.
There were several grease spots on the
waistcoat in question and Tetona got q pint
bottle Of naphtha with which to take them out
He went into a saloon at 1872 First avenue on
his way to work yesterday morning. taking
the naphtha along. and while the bartender
was mixing drink for him applied the naph-
tina to the grease spots In such liberal doses
that by the time the spots vanished the bottle
was almost emptied.
Tetonia was about to leave the saloon when
he decided to light cigarette. As he drew the
cigar-lighter toward him the re was a faint ex-
plosion and a fash OF flame enveoped Teto-
MAS face and body. Friends put the fire out
and called an ambulance. When the surgeon
came. he found that the man was seriously
burned about the body and that his moustache
and eyebrows were missing.
