Horrible Accident Befalls Miss Lens
Polzin-Is Fatally Burned
At about o'clock Monday morning
the fire department was called out by
an alarm sent from the home OF
William Polzin, 3O2 College avenue
The alarm was occasioned by an ex-
plosion of gasoline, which occurred
with fatal results to Lena, the 16.
year-old daughter of Mr.. Polzin. II
seems that the girl, in trying to make
a fire in wood stove burn better,
poured from a can onto the flames a
quantity of what she supposed was
kerosene, but which proved to be that
far more dangerous agent-gasoline
The explosion followed as m after oil
course and the fluid spread all over
the girls person. In an instant she
was mass of flames and before as.
sistance could be rendered she was
most terribly burned, her entire body
being baked to crisp. No n edical
attention could help her, and after
experiencing the greatest agony for
several hours, death came to the
unfortunate girls relief at 4:3O in the
afternoon.
The sad catastrophe was heard OF
with sincere regret throughout the
city, and many a housewife paled at
the fear Of such terrible death.
The funeral of the victim was held
this afternoon from St. Johns Lutheran

been offered for 46 feet of Main street
property, lying between Fifth and
Sixth streets on the Tennessee side

only ninety feet deep and has no out
let except from its Main street front.
1t will be seen from the figures stat

three hundred dollars per. foot, for
only ninety feet depth, and this, too.
not for a corner. Verify, Bristol real
