homes in this city terribly burned, the
former being in a critical condition,
the result of trying to eat fire. The
boys are each Is years old.
Being of inventive turns of mind,
the youths decided that they would get
up a show for the benefit of their boy
friends and the fire-eating feature
would be the grand finale.
They gathered in a barn last night
and the show started. The boys filled
their mouths with cotton soaked in
gasoline and planned to ignite the
fumes as they issued from their
mouths and then lighted the gas.
There was an awful scene. The cot
ton took fire and the flames spread to
the boys clothing. The boys lives
were saved with the greatest difficulty.
