throwing the burning oil over hel
person and her clothing was a mass
of flames in an instant. Being alone
in the house and unable to e1tin.
guish the fire she ran outside 70,

the explosion which was as loud at
the report of a gun, heard her
piercing screams and ran to her as
sistance. Rev. and Mrs. H. P. Nc

the flames in about two minutes.
Her clothing was burned to sllreds

came at half-past three in the after
