Harry, 9-year-old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. L. l.. Eastman, was burned on
Labor day morning and but for the
presence of Miss Clara Anthony, he
would probably have received much
more serious burn. As it was his
right leg was burned from his ankle
up. Harry and Elmer Miller were
playing with full can of kerosene
and young Miller touched light to
it. He told Eastman to stick the can
in the mud, which seemed to have
caused an explosion which set him
Attire.
