John Houghton met with severe
burn on his left leg several days age
that has been giving him considerable
trouble ever since and the accident
was very funny one, too. He was
wandering around the house in his
nightrobe carrying a lighted lamp
when in some manner the chimney
was knocked off which fell inside his
nightrobe and rested on his bare leg
close up-by the thigh. He dare not
drop the lamp and held onto it until
his wife took it away from him, in the
meantime the chimney had burned a
terrible hole in his leg. The wound
has been very painful but John is glad
to have escaped with that painful as
tits.
