FATAL MISTAKE.

Gasoline ON Fire Causes Three Deaths
at Stonington.
Mrs. Edward Wood and two children,
Of Stonington, are dead as the result OF an
explosion of gasoline in their home last
Thursday.
Mr.. Wood, who is fisherman, left
home before the break OF day to haul his
lobster pots. He left wood fire burning
in the kitchen stove. When Mrs. Wood
and the children arose at a. m. she re-
built the fire and poured kerosene over
the kindling. In 80 doing she spilled
some on the top Of the stove. Before the
the covers were replaced the mass caught
fire and blazed into the air, frighten-
ing the woman. She picked up q pan
which she supposed contained water, and
dashed its contents, which proved to be
gasoline, onto the blaze. The explosion
followed.
The clothing OF Mrs. Wood and the two
children, who were standing near the
stove, caught fire. They ran from the
house. A neighbor, Mrs. George A..
Brown, rushed to their assistance. While
she was tearing the clothing from Mrs.
Wood, one of the children died at her feet
in terrible agony and the other lived only
q few minutes.
Mrs. Brown succeeded in extinguish-
ing the flames in Mrs. Woods clothing, but
not until the woman had been badly
burned. She died Friday. The Wood
home was destroyed.

LOCAL OPTION QUESTION
BIG FACTOR IN INDIANA

indianapolis. Ind. Nov. 6-The cam
paign throughout the State closed last
night Both parties are apparently con-
fident of victory.
Senator Beverage has made an uphill
campaign He made ninety-three speeches
in eighty-two counties.
Estimates of the result differ widely,
according to the political glasses through
which 1t Is seen, but the safest guess at
the close of the campaign is that Indiana
IS doubtful If 1t were not for the local
option issue. with the liquor element
arrayed sOlidly against the Republicans,
there would be no doubt OF Republican
success. for Beveridge has made cam
paign that has appealed TO thousands OF
Democrats, and it is believed that prae-
ticalIy all Republicans are lined up on
his side. save such as belong to the liquor
element.
Owing TO the presence Of the local OPP
ton question in the campaign, the Demo-
Gratis have large fund for use on Tues
day, and II is in the hands OF men who
best know how to use it effectively.
