Wesley Rankin, 81, st. Marys, lies
at the point of death in hospital at
Lima as the result of peculiar ac-
cident which occurred. Rankin, in
company with another man, went to
Lima looking for work, and later
went to the L. E. & w. yards, hoping
to catch a freight train to leave the
city. Becoming cold they built a
bon fire and laid down beside it and
went to sleep. Rankin was awak-
end by burns received from his burn
ing clothing, which became ignited
either from a spark, or from his get
ting too close to the flames. His
cries awakened his companion, who
succeeded in putting out the burning
garments Rankin's clothing was
practically burned from his body,
those around his waist being entire
ly burnt off. The most severe burns
received by the unfortunate were re-
ceived about the chest.
