cident, Sunday evening. He was u.s.
ing a soldering iron on his light pres
sure tank, when the iron punctured a
hole in the tank. The gasoline was
forced onto a red-hot stove and Paul
was quickly enveloped in flames. His
two hands were terribly burned-in
places clean to the bone. He ran
out Of doors and placed his hands
in the snow, and then shoveled snow
onto the flames in the building, sue
ceeding in quenching the fire and
thereby saving the entire block south
of his shop. He will be laid up for
weeks to come, and is in a helpless
condition at present. He was lucky to
escape with his life, as he was alone
