she had been cleaning with gasoline.
Miss Maude Powell came near being
badly burned this forenoon at about
10 o'clock. AS It was her left arm
was burned between the wrist and the
elbow; her hair was quite badly singed.
and the apron she wore was completely
destroyed by the flames.
Miss Powell is a clerk in the em-
ploy Of the Tuffree Music House. She
was engaged in cleaning skirt in the
private alley back Of the store. She
had completed the cleaning process and
was in the act of hanging the garment
on nail, that the gasoline might
evaporate, when her foot stepped on the
match. The gasoline had dripped from
the skirt to the pavement and it was
only an instant until the skirt was a
mass of ruins. A quantity OF excelsior.
that had been thrown from box onto
the cellerway, was also ignited and for
a time It seemed as If the building
might become afire. The screen door
was charred; before the fire could be
quenched, also the upper panel OF the
rear door. Miss Powell was indeed
fortunate that more Of her clothing,
aside from the light apron she wore.
did not become ign1ted. An alarm was
turned in but no water was thrown
by the department, a small garden hose
doing service before the teams could
arrive.

took exceptions to the attentions of one
of the boarders which he alleged were

couple had an alteration over the man

was acting. and the result was that
Myers left Waterloo for Mason City.
