EXPLOSION KILLS FOUR
Mother and Three Children Fatally
Burned at Pisgah.

Council Bluffs, Ia. May 27.-
Special: Mrs. Lee Chapman and her
three children. members of family
residing near Pisgah, were buried
today. All died in a fire in their
home. Mrs. Chapman and the family
had been to town. Being chilled on
their return, Mrs. Chapman, with the
baby of the family in her arms. pour
ed some oil from Jug on the kitchen
fire. The oil supposed to be kerosene
proved to be gasoline and terrific
explosion followed the flash of flames.
The children were all gathered about
their mother and all were burned so
terribly that death sc on came to their
relief. Mrs. Chapman was living I'M
til last night. Mr.. Chapman entered
the house while the fire was burning
fiercely and was seriously burned try
ing to rescue his wife and children.
The mother and three children were
buried in two graves.
The oil mentioned in the above
press dispatch was sold by A. l..
Strong. who is managing the general
store owned by Pfarr. Gebert and
Hunt of Denison. In letter from
Mr.. Strong he strenuously denies that
any mistake was made by him or that
he was in any way to blame for the
accident. The state oil inspector was
called to the scene and Mr.. Gebert
spent yesterday in Pisgah. trying to
get at the real facts of the accident.
1t is a terrible affair. We know Mr..
Strong as one of the most careful and
painstaking of men and we cannot be-
ieve him guilty of carelessness I'M
less the proof is absolute. Mr.. &C.
bert tells us that both gasoline and
Kerosene were sold at the same store
but that the gasoline was kept in a
tank while the kerosene was stored
in barrels and in different part of
the store. Mr.. Gebert wishes COM
plete investigation made as he be-
heves it will fully exonerate Mr..
Srong from blame.
There are various ways in which
the accident might have occurred
other than by taking for granted the
SUBSTITUTION of gasoline for kerosene.
Many serious accidents of a similar
nature have resulted from careless
handling of kerosene and this may
have been an instance. We hope and
believe that Mr.. Strong will be able
to show that the blame was not his.
