Lamp Exp|Od6S
mrs. Chamberlain and Mr.. HARRINGTON
are Badly Burned.

|
lis, at about 10 o'clock at the
home of Mrs. Chamberlain, a
hanging lamp exploded and Mrs.
Chamberlain, sister of William
Buster, and Mr.. J. A. Harring-
ton, recently from Kalispell,
Montana, were horribly burned
about the head, face and hands.
The lamp was fancy hanging
lamp of the Rochester make, and
was hanging a short distance
from hot stove, and it is most
probable that the stove had
heated the coal oil in the bowl of
the lamp to a high degree, thus
generating considerable gas in
the bowl of the lamp, and in the
Rochester type of lamps, there
is no air vent for the generated
gas to escape-other kinds Of
lamp burners have air vents, and
should be cleaned out often.
Mrs. Chamberlain was getting
ready to retire for the night,
and was turning out the light,
and in an instant there was a
loud report made by explosion
of the generated gas and the
contents of the burning Gil and
flying pieces of glass were
, thrown into Mrs. Chamberlain S
face, on her clothing, and about
: the house. In an instant Mrs.
l Chamberlain's clothing was in
flames, and also was mattress
and quilt in the house. Mr..
4 Harrington and family who are
boarding there, had retired for
: the night. He heard the report
from the explosion and the wo-
mans screams, and jumping out

running for the door wrapped in

FOURTEEN-Y -YEAR-OLD
PROVES SPEED MARVEL
Ray Seymour Makes Remarkable Rec
ord in Exhibition Motorcycle Event
at Fiesta Park-Part of Pro-
gram is Failure

Ray Seymour, the 14-year-old news
boy of Los Angeles, yesterday after
noon at the Fiesta stadium proved to
possess the material of which dare
devils are made, and is one OF those
finds in the younger generation of rid
ers among whom future worlds cham
pions may be looked for. Although he
did not threaten any standing records,
he demonstrated that he has that spe-
cies of pluck and nerve necessary to a
successful motorcycle rider, and his
performance yesterday SuDStantlateS
what has been said in these columns
before-that, as the motorcycle game
grows a little older there will be many
Young men and even raw boys who
will learn to develop that mania for
the spotlight to the extent of eXcelling
the performances, once considered re-
markable of those occupying the CEN
ter Of the stage. The best performance
of the day for Seymour was mile IN
IS seconds fiat, which, considering the
boy's immature years, is nothing short
OF spectacular. This time was made In
an exhibition mile, during every inch
of which he kept the hair of the spec
tators on straight edge, at one point
in particular giving so daring ride,
when the hind wheel of his machine
skidded badly, that he caused the
crowd to rise to its feet and cheer MN
Justify.
Later in the day, in another trial
against the watch young Seymour
practically repeated this performance
bv riding two miles in 1:56 10, just
one-tenth of a second per mile slower
than that of the one-mile exhibition.
The first heat in the 15-mile motor
baced race brought the crowd to It's
feet in the first two or three laps, put
Mitchell proved to be the best rider
in the first heat. Duer on the motor
cycle proved that he was in class by
himself over Fat" Bryant and won
in the time of 6:55 AS seconds. The
second heat also went to Duer for the
five miles in 7:19 2-5 seconds.
The Australian pursuit race was dis
gusting to the spectators, owing to the
poor start and the long wrangle OF the
contestants over the poor management
of the afternoon races. Loud protests
were heard on all sides of the bleachers
and several persons left before the
races were over.
Rerryessa won after a hard fight for
honors against Long in the time OF

In the one-mile handicap bicycle
race there were nine starters, and IN
this event Holke won, Berryessa was
second and Perane was third. Time
2:O42-5 seconds. The half mile bicycle
professional free-for-all race was
awarded to Furhman. Agraz was Sec
ond and Duer was third. Time 1i1O.
Between resting halves of the con-
testants there was a cricket match be-
tween the Los Angeles team and the
Shamrocks and the latter won after a
hard battle in which claret flowed
freely from the players mouths and
body by coming in contact with bats
of the other players. The final score
in the cricket game was 10 to Z.
