ESCAPE FROM DEATH
John Krizer Has Experience With
out Precedent.

John Krizer, who has been operat-
ling threshing outfit in the county
this season, met with an accident at
the James McLandsborough farm
northeast of the city, Wednesday morn
ing. that came near costing his life.
That the man escaped without serious
injury is almost beyond belief, but he
sustains only minor hurts. But for
the presence and the timely assistance
of helper the man would surely have
been burned to death. An oil lamp
lexploded in the fire box of the thresh.
er while Krizer was in the place calk-
ing defective fiue. The man was
saturated with oil and the place was
Instantly roaring with red hot flame,
and singed head.
The fiue had been leaking the day
before. to the extent that fire was
maintained with difficulty. After
work that evening the fire was pulled
so that the fire box would cool during
the night to permit a man to get into
the place to fix the flues. Krizer de,
ltermined to do the fixing himself and
about four o'clock Wednesday morn
ing he started at the work in order
to complete it by starting time.
4 The fire box was still very hot al
most beyond the point where a man
could endure the heat, but he went
at the job and crawled into the box
Through the fuel door, 1t was tight
squeeze but he finally got through
Being unable to find a lantern by
which to see his work he took an oil
lamp into the place. He started upon
1.-THE defective flue and was working
hard when the lamp, probably affected
lby the high temperature of the place
Exploded with a loud report Krizer
instantly realized what had happened
He was too frightened to yell, fully
lappreciating his situation and know
ing full well that he was face to face
with death. He acted almost without
thinking and more upon the instinct
lof self-preservation than through rea
son. The flash of the burning oil and
lgas was no more than upon him un
It'll he shot his hands, arms and head
from the fire box door and started
to wigsao OUT as he had entered. His
Inelper, fortunately, CHANGED to be
Istanding at the door of the furnace
when the explosion occurred. AS
lkrizer thrust out his arms and head
the man, who was stout as an OK
grabbed the extended arms and
lyanked Krizer out of the stoke hole
in less time than the telling requires
Nor did Krizer himself stand upon
lcustom or ceremony. The greater por
ltion of his clothing, which at the be
lginning had been rather meagre OF
account of the nature of the plac,
land the work to be done, remained ii
the fire box as the man was jerkeC
tout. As he was pulled clear of the
ldoor the interior was roaring fur
mace, the flames from the burning oil
on the bottom filling all parts of the
box and rushing through the fiues
Ishowed out of the smoke stack.
The escape had been by a narrow
margin and Mr.. Krizer, although nurs
ing several severe burns on the side
of his face and his hands, and having
numerous skin abrasions, where he
lslipped past the rough sides of the
door, is thankful the outcome was nc
worse.

Breaks the Record.

For torridness this summer pro-,
misses to break all records for many
years in this region. Yesterday was
the hottest day of the season, the
mercury mounting to l0S in the shade
by the Ledger's signal service instru-
ments. In some places it was ITO.
Today it is tritie more moderate at
JOG. Orchardists are complaining
that fruit i is being baked on the
trees by the excessive heat. Around
Oleta theRgreen walnuts have turned
brown, aud grapes are shriveled upon
the vines. This is where the soil is
shallow, and perhaps owing also in
a measure to the slight rainfall of
lsat winter, the ground Being almost
completely exhausted of moisture.
The prospects of the fruit crop are
not as good as in the early spring.
