Thompson and wife were two young
people residing In a little tw0-re0ln
cottage which the husband had Just
built. He was employed as section
foreman on the 500. Monday evening
he had purchased and taken home .
can containing three gallons OF gaso-'
ltne, which was sitting in one Of the
rooms. 1t is thought that the large
stopper Of the can was lost on the way
home, and during the night gas es-
capped and filled the room. Thompson,
not comprehending the dangerous ns-
ture Of gasoline vapor In an apart.
ment, arose and lighted the fire. A
terrific explosion followed. Thomp-
sons clothing was saturated with tlle
blazing fluid, and he was SO badly
burned that he died next day. The
wife, when the explosion occurred,
snatched her four-year old sister from
the bed and, throwing q quilt over the
child and herself, the two escaped
uninjured from the house.
