CAPTAIN ELERlcK RECEIVES
PAINFUL BURNS TUESDAY.

Douds, May 14.-Tuesday evening a
gasoline stove at the residence of J..
M. Morrow began to blaze, caused, i.
is supposed by leaking, and in the at
tempt to carry the stove from the
house by Mrs. Morrow and Captain
James Elerick, the stove was upset
and the blazing gasoline spilled on
the captains hands and the fire was
only extinguished by thrusting his
hands in tub of water outside of
the house.
Fortunately, assistance in extin-
gushing the flames, which complete
ly filled the kitchen, quickly arrived
and what might have been serious
fire was averted. Aside from slight
burning of hair, Mrs. Morrow es-
capped unframed. The serious burns
of Captain Elerick are confined to his
hands, which the physician in at
tendance says will escape permanent
injury, although seriously burned.
