Little Daughter of Charles Hermann,
of Grass Lake, Meets With Ter
ribIe Death Monday Evening.
A GASOLINE LAMP EXPLODED
Henry hermann. an Uncle of the Little
Girl and a Servan. Girl Badly Burned
and Hermann Cannot Recover.

A message to the EVENING NEWS
this morning announces that terri
BILE accident occurred at the summer
resort of Charles Hermann near the
Lake county line Oh Monday evening,
which resulted in three people being
terribly burned and one of them has
since died.
The accident resulted from the ex-
p1osion of a gasoline lamp which had
been used for lighting the parlor OF
the resort. On Monday evening Henry
Hermann, a brother of the owner OF
the house, and Lulu Hermann, aged Is
years, one of the twin daughters OF
Mr.. Hermann, went into the parlor to
light the lamp for the evening. The
lamp had been lighted, but it failed to
burn properly and Mr.. Hermann
started to extinguish it. Before he
could reach the lamp terrible explo-
sion occurred and the burning gaso-
line was poured over the clothes OF
the 1itt1esgir1 who was standing under
the lamp Portions of the burning
LIQUID were also thrown on the clothing
of the man. The screams of the two
people brought the remaining inmates
of the house to the scene and servant
girl rushed to the aid of the little girl,
in this manner making herself the
third victim of the accident.
Before the flames could be extin-
guished the little Hermann girl had
been burned in horrible manner. All
her clothes were burned off, and the
skin on her face and arms was burned
to crisp. EHenry Hermann made a
heroic effort to save the girl and in his
efforts he was terribly burned.
AS soon as the flames had been ex-
tinguished the injured were removed
to another part of the house. The
little girl died Tuesday after enduring
twelve hours of terrible suffering.
Henry Hermann is still alive, but his
condition is said to be very critical.
The servant, who was burned while
attempting to save the child, will re-
cover. y a
The damage to the resort from the
fire will be very small, aud is conf
p1ete1y covered by insurance. A1
The accident has thrown a pail over
the entire Western part Of the county
as the little girl burned was general
favorite. The Coroner was called to
investigate the case Tuesday evening,
aud the jury brought in verdict of
accidental death. .
