stove, when it readily ignited, the gas

Fortunately there was only a gallon
in the tank instead of five gallons, and
the building and plant were saved,
there probably being not more than
$50 damages, outside of the serious in
jury OF three persons. Mr.. Malley, the
machinist operator. was above and did

but when he saw what occurred he
at once rushed TO the relief of the sit.

building by carrying all inflammable
material from that floor to the outside.
