what might nave been a very Ser1-
Gus fire occurred at the Clarence
Fisher home on 1st Avenue East Sun
day morning. Mrs. Fisher had been
using her p%ercolator and the alcohol
burned out. In attempting to refill
it the lamp exploded, setting her hair
and clothes on fire. Mr.. Fisher for
tunately was near and came quickly
to her rescue and extinguished the
flames, but not until her face had
been burned quite badly. The burn
and shock made Mrs. Fisher i'll for
several days, but it was thought that
she would be up and around again
within a few days. 1t was very for
tunate for Mrs. Fisher that her hus-
band was in the house at the time of
the explosion, otherwise she would
likely have been very seriously
burned and possibly would have lost
her life.
