GAS EXPLOSION
Gave Mr.. F. W. Shirer a Close
Call,

Mr.. Fred w. Shirer, clerk of the
Board of Education is recovering from
the effects of the gas explosion in
which he figured few days ago.
Mr.. Shirer was at his Office and de-
tected escaping gas in the vault. He
opened the heavy door and closed the
jet. After leaving the door open for
nearly an hour, Mr.. Shirer tested the
situation by throwing a lighted match
into the room. There was no report.
He then proceeded to light the gas
and as he applied the match to the
Jet an explosion followed. Mr.. Shirer
was severely burned about the head
and hands and it will be sometime be-
fore ne entirely RECEIVERS.
1t seems that the vault is much high
er than the door leading to it and the
gas above had no way of escaping in
