Ofin Explosion
of Gasoline Tank

William H. Van Buskirk, aged 40, a
farmer living near Regent, hovers be-
tween life and death as the result Of
trying to solder a gasoline tank filled
with gasoline. #
He took the tank containing so gal
Ions of gasoline to the proprietor Of a
Regent hardware store and requested
him to solder a leak. The hardware
man refused to do so, claiming it was
too dangerous. Van Buskirk, how
ever, insisted and was loaned the
necessary articles.
The gasoline tank exploded, blow
ing practically all of the flesh from
the face Of the man, the blazing gaso-
line burning to the bone.
Late Wednesday afternoon it was
stated that if he lives his eyes will be
saved. However, the nose is gone,
and practically all the flesh burned
from the skull. JE
Physicians fear the concussion
may cause death. Van Buskirk is in
such serious condition it has been i'm
