STANDARD SUED FOR $4,000.
l.. j. Chapman, Deprived Of Family
Thru Explosion of Oil, Brings Suit.

Special to Times-Repuhllcan.,
Logan. Aug. 1.-THE Standard OH
company has been made co-defendant
in a $4,000 damage suit brought IN
this county by Lee j. Chapman Wild
over of Mrs. Ina Chapman, who. with
their three children, were burned so
badly at their home near Pisgah, May
25 that they died the same day, the
burns resulting from the explosion OF
oil supposed to have been kerosene.
The title of the suit, however, is Chap
man VS.. "The Boys a corporation To-
Gated at Denison which maintains a
store at Pisgah.
The oil was bought of the store IN
Pisgah the proprietors of which stated
they purchased the oil of the Sioux
City branch of the Standard Oil COM
pany. More than a dozen experts in
the inspection OF oils were called upon
to test samples of the oil which, caused
the four deaths, and no two Of them
agreed as to the properties contained
in the oil, altho all found it to be a
poor grade of either kerosene or some-
thing like it.
+ Attorney George w. Egan Of Logan,
who appears for the plaintiffs in the
case, speaking of the oil said:
",The mixture contained 81 per cent
gas Owing to physical properties. the
gasolene, being lighter than kerosene,
rose to the top, and when the pumps
were placed in the barrels they did not
begin to draw gasolene until the bar
rel was nearly empty. Hence. when
Mrs. Chapman bought the fatal gallon
there remained only about sixteen gall
Ions in the barrel. AS soon as the
accident happened the news was tele-
phoned to nearby towns which had re-
ceived some of the same mixture. The
merchants refused to sell it andNother
accidents were averted.''
If Mr.. Egan is correct in his knowl-
edge of this feature of the case, it will
be news to those who handled the
news feature of the explosion at the
time.

what world of achievement we should
witness Unfortunatel for the most
Of US, however, we have to be content
with thinking what we might do II we
could.
Thus the market day" idea may not
have originated with A. P. Mason the
veteran auctioneer at Union. Iowa, but
that he organized and put it into prac-
teal operation at that place and made
it the most successful market day
In the state is of more Importance.
A market day for Union was first
suggested about three years ago by
Col. Mason, who has been an

which is borrowed from the old world,
could be successfully carried out in
