Mrs. James Sherin 10 Horribly Burn.
ed in Gasoline Explosion.
A terrible accident occurred in
Olivia last Friday morning, causing
injuries which resulted in death a few
hours later. Mrs. James Sherin, in
attempting to start fire with gas.
oline, which she had mistaken for
kerosene, was so badly burned by her
clothing catching fire from the ex
plosion which followed, that her life
could not be saved.
The accident occurred about nine
o'clock in the morning. Mrs. Sherin
went upstairs to do some work, and
after answering a telephone call, pro
oil cans were kept in the house, one
sene, each in a separate place. Ap'
parently in thoughtless moment she
picked up the wrong can, which con.
tanned about half gallon Of gasoline
and there being some smouldering

tom out Of the can, scattering the gas.
oline over her clothes and instantly
she was enve1oped in flames. She at
tempted to smother the fire with some
bed clothes, but these also took fire
Miss Kate Schlimmer, her sister, who
was the only other person in the house
at the time ran to Mrs. Sherin's as
sistance, but being unable to render
any assistance, she ran down stairs tc
call for help and was followed by Mrs
Sherin. her clothes still in flames. DR.
Mesker and DR.. Passer worked over
her, bandaging her wounds and Civ
ing what relief they could. It was
found that her injuries were most ser
ious and but little hope was held out
for her recovery. Her clothing had
been practically all burned of he1
body and her flesh had been severely
burned in many places. For short
time she suffered intensely, but under
the influence of the drugs admins
tered by the doctors, her pains les
sened. She talked nationally to he1
brother and sisters during the after
noon and seemed to realize the ser
iousness Of her injuries. In the eve
ming about seven O'Clock she seemed
to grow sleepy. gradually becoming
unconscious and at five minutes past
nine she peacefully passed away

CRAWL TO SAFETY
As TRAINS CRASH
Five Men Seated Near Red-hot Stove
In caboose at Donnelly Have

Five Men Seated Near Red-hot Stove
in caboose at Donnelly Have
Narrow Escape.
According to reports from Donnel-
ly, five travelling men riding in a
freight caboose which was switched
onto side track had a narrow escape
from death by burning, scalding or be-
ing ground to bits early Wednesday
morning in the Donnelly railroad
yards. The men were seated about
| red-hot stove in the car when a
passenger train crashed into the ca
boose and damaged it considerably.
The men crawled out of the windows,
unhurt. The Great Northern officials
have not yet fixed the blame for the
accident.
Several years ago, a similar acct
dent happened at Pennock, small
town west Of Willmar, when five trav-
cling men met their death on fright
fully cold morning. Since that time
wrecks Of this nature have been few
and far between on the Great North
ern. At that time freight train had
just pulled onto the siding when the
coast train came along and demo1ish-
ed the caboose, telescoping several
freight cars and killing five men out
right. Among them was Arthur Hill,
a well known and popular grocery
salesman.
Reports from Donnelly yesterday
shed no light on the cause Of the acct
dent. One report states no fagman
was left to protect the rear Of the
freight, and that no tail-lights were
burning on the caboose. Another re-
port states a switch engine obscured
a full view of the tracks. At any
rate the company is convinced one
Of the crews were negligent. The fol-
lowing report of the accident is taken
from the Donnelly Star after Editor
Townsend had viewed the wreck:
early Wednesday morning No. 2,
the Great Northern's pet passenger
train, in taking the siding here at
Donnelly to allow No. to pass, smash.
ed into the rear Of a freight which
was standing on the siding. The ca
boose was badly wrecked at both
ends, but for a wonder it did not col
lapse. In the caboose were five men
and red hot stove. Had the passen-
ger train hit just little bit harder
there would have been a terrible trag'
edy. The men crawled out Of the win
dow unhurt No. rs engine was DAM
aged but managed to pull the train to
Morris. The fault of the wreck IS
not yet placed. The passenger engf-
neer swears there we're no tail lights
on the caboose, and the freight crew
swear the tail lights we're trimmed
and burning. So there you are."-

PAPER Goino Up.

1t has been necessary for the 1tas'
ca Paper company of Grand Rapids,
to discontinue the manufacture of col
ored paper, and alter the shades Of
print paper as a result of the short
age of analine dyes. 1t is almost i'm.
possible to secure dyes to be used in
coloring paper, the European struggle
being directly responsible for this con
dition, shipments from Germany since
the beginning Of the war having been
practically cut off.
At the Grand Rapids institution the
cost Of coloring print paper has in
creased more than ten per cent and
the management has found it neces'
sary to produce the paper at nearly
it's natural color, which is Of a straw
hue. Thus it is explained why many
newspapers are being printed on pa
per of yellow tint. Analine dyes
are used to bleach paper to white
There is at the present time ship
ment Of dyes in Holland awaiting
transportation to the United States
but it will be some time before it will
arrive.-Grand Rapids Herald-Review
