Nearly Killed i'm Explosion.

CoffeyvilIe, Kan, Dec. 6.-While
Mr.. and Mrs. W. S. Lyons, living at the
Dean oil plant, about six miles north
west of this city, were making a tour
of inspection of the oil tanks and
turning off the flow from the pipe
lines for the night, an explosion of
gases arising from one of the tanks
seriously injured Mrs. Lyons, who was
carrying a lantern. Mrs. Lyons had
gone to the top of the tank to measure
the amount of oil in it, but had only
reached the top when an explosion
occurred knocking her off backwards
to the ground, a distance of twelve
feet Mr.. Lyons had heard the ex-
plosion, but thought it the breaking of
a shackle rod and paid little attention
to it. Several minutes later he found
his wife, unconscious, where she had
been hurled to the ground, and rem
dered so by falling on her head and
shoulders.
