lit the lamp-the explosion followed.
In less than half an hour DIR. Steele and
Druggist Hudson of this city were at the
scene of the tragedy. Oplates were adj
ministered and every thing possible was
done to relieve the suffering Of the dying
man. who. after the doctors administra-
tons said, Il feel better now However.
he had to 60. and expired during the early
hours Of the morning.
The facts seem to be, that this man,
about ~ years old. went to local store to
purchase kerosene. He got it. but it APP
pears to have been mixed with gasoline.
Immediately after the explosion occurred.
the unfortunate man with his clothing on
FIRE. broke through window OF the section

only too well founded.
