Gasolene Explosion.

On last Sunday morning while
some little boys were playing on
the streets near where the street
carnival had been located they
accidentally set fire to an old
barrel which had been left by the
carnival people. The barrel had
contained gasolene and enough
had been left to create consider
explosion and as q result Louis
Tannehill is painfully burned
about the head and face besides
being considerable bruised up
from the effects of the explosion.
It seems that Drew Carroway
set fire to the barrel and then
went away and that Louis hap
pend to be the only one near
enough to be hurt when the explo-
sion came. None of the boys were
aware that the barrel had contain
ed gasolene and apprehended no
danger whatever. 1t was extremely
fortunate that others wero not
hurt. Louis has been given all the
attention possible and it will only
be q few days before he will be
out with the boys again.
