WOMAN is BURNED BY
EXPLOSION OF GASOLINE

Mrs. A. G. Mcpherson, residing at
20191s 'Downey avenue, was slightly
burned last night by an explosion OF
gasoline, which occurred while she was
cleaning pair of gloves. small can,
which contained the oil, took fire from
a lamp and threw the burning fluid
over her arms and front of her dress.
She had presence of mind enough to
seize bed quilt and extinguish the fire
by smothering it. The blaze caught the
furnishings of the room, which was ex-
tinguished by a chemical engine. The
loss was small.
A gasoline stove exploded in the resi-
dence of Nj. A. Pricket at 447 Temple
street last night and caused lively
little blaze for a few minutes. 1t was
extinguished by the chemical engine
after doing $50 damag.

co-worker of many men in this city
who were battling against their appe-
tites. He has visited them in their
homes, has encouraged them to fight
the good fight, has taught those who
did not know it, the strengthening In
f1uence of prayer and the abiding peace
that cometh of trust in God. When
Francis Murphy found a man fighting,
and fighting hard, he took off his coat
and fought with him. He never forgot
his own fight, and the lessons it taught
him were Of great value in later life.
Declines Passionate
After coming to Los Angeles the
Methodist church offered to grant him
ordination. Many of Mr.. Murphy s
friends counseled him to accept the
honor but after careful consideration
he declined, preferring to continue his
work along the old lines.
March 10, 1902 he held a great tenn
perance rally in Hazards pavilion, on
the present site of the Temple Aud
itorium. At the close Of the meeting
300 persons signed the pledge and 1200
proudly donned the blue ribbon. That
was his first big meeting in Los An
geles. Others followed.
Mr.. Murphy himself never kept count
of his converts. He never delivered an
address from manuscript. Consequently
an appreciation of his great work can
be gained only through newspaper re-
ports of the time. Here in Los An
geles, however, the man Is known and
loved by the entire community; and the
city>at large will experience a keen re-
great when he shall have passed away.

During the next few weeks the ques-
ton of withholding support from the

bodies.

husband being in the penitentiary was
not sufficient grounds for annulment OF
marriage, Judge Bordwell yesterday
denied the petition of Mrs. Marie Min
ningen for legal separation through that
means. NJ.
Mrs Minningen testified that she was
married to William Minningen three
years ago in this city, and although he
had served term in the state prison
prior to that time, he concealed the
fact from her.
After a year of welded bliss he again
got into trouble and was sentenced to
a long term behind the tars. 1t was
during the second trial that his wife
learned of his former incarceration,
and she at once determined to have the
marriage set aside.
