MT. Abe Rosenberg, who is one of Pine Bluffs oldest and most highly respected citizens, met with a painful accident at the Arlington hotel Mon- day morning and he norrowly escaped serious injury.
 MT. Rosenberg was refilling a small lamp used for lighting cirgars, with gasoline. In some manner the lamp was overturned before he finished filling it and the flames of the escap- ing fluid spread all over MT. Rosen- bergs clothes. Several parties who happened to be in the hotel corridor at the time, hurried to his assistance and extinguished the fire, but not un- til after he was badly burned on the hands and arms Mr. Rosenberg just recently recovered from a spell of ill ness and the painful accident was quite a shock to him in his feeble physical condition.
 He was later removed to his home on North Walnut street and is doing as we'll as could be expected, though supffering great pain.
