s West Third street. AS she was in the
house alone at the time OF the accident
the particulars Of THE case can only be
surmised. Frank Howard was passing the
place when he heard a womans screams.
He, together with Frank Thomas and
Charles X. Brewer. THE owner OF the
cigar store, who also heard the screams.
rushed to the house and broke open the
front door. There they found Mrs. Klei.

was frantic with fear and pain. The men
carried her to the street and tore the
burning garments from her body. Brew
er had a vet cloth that he used to damp
en- the tobacco leaves. and this he wrap
ped around Mrs. Klei's body. In the mean-
time Patroimen Ward and Ealxin had ar
rived on the scene and securing blankets
from the house, wrapped them around
the suffering woman. The Phoenix am
bulance was hastily summon61 and took
Mrs. Klci to the hospital.
The officers made an investigation ana
found a gasoline stove burning in the
room. The wall paper and mantle cover
were burning. These We're quickly eaotin-
guished. Tho tank on the stove was open
land a funnel sticking IN it. A 5-gallon
can was on the floor. One Of the feed pipes
leading from the tank was leaking and

from the stove, which was also burning.
lIt IS supposed Mrs. Illei approached TO
Inn the tank and as she did so her cloth
ding caught fire from the flames that es-
caped from the leak in the pipe. When
she rushed down stairs rha air only
famed the flames. When she reached the
bottom she was too bewildered 10 open
