Gasoline Fumes.
Special to Times Republican.
Columbus Junction, June %. - A
young man named Ray Burns, whose
home is at Columbus City, narrowly as-
capped death while cleaning out a large
gasoline tank belonging to the Stand
ard Old Company here, being over
come by the gaseous fumes from
small quantity of the fluid left in the
bottom after being pumped out the day
previously. by William Marshall, an
employee.
Marshall sent Burns down to dip ont
the remaining gasoline, taking the pre-
caution, fortunately, to fasten a rope
around his body, below the armpits.
| After dipping UP a few pailfuls of the
gasoline Burns began acting strangely,
which alarmed Marshall and the latter
tried to draw him out with the rope out
Burns became delirious and struggled
so that his companions efforts were
| fruites. and he raised cry for help.
| Harry Wilson, a carpenter working
not far away, heard the cries and
rushed to Marshall's assistance. BY this
time Burns was greatly weakened and
unconscious. The men drew him UP
until his head protruded from the tank
| but he held his arms akimbo so that
they couldn't extricate his body FOR
some time. Marshall became exhausted
with his efforts and but for Wilson'S
| aid Burns would have persisted, as q
physician who was summoned declared
that if he had remained in the tank &
minute or two longer the result would
have been fatal He did not rally fol
several hours, but will recover.
