STOVE; SEVERELY BURNED

William Ehrheart, aged g., laborer
living at 1144 San Julian street, was
severely burned on the face and hands
while trying to put a gasoline stove
out of the house yesterday morning.

his mother, aged SO. The stove ex-
ploded while Mrs. Ehrheart was trying
to light it, but she was not injured.

of the stove justified his assisting it
into the yard. On the way out how
ever, he stumbled and fell. He was
treated at the receiving hospital and
later at the county hospital.
The flames set fire to the house and
the fire department was called. Only
a SIS loss occurred.
