pital in a dangerous condition.
Smith was driving car at night
between Overlea and Kingsville, and
when near Perry Hall, something
went wrong with the machine. In
remedying the trouble, Mr.. Smiths
clothing became saturated with
gasoline.
About this time a man came upon
the scene with a lighted lantern
the fame of which ignited Mr..
Smiths clothing and he was mass
of flames in an instant. Efforts were
made to smother the flames by wrap
ping articles of clothing about his
body. A fire extinguisher was
brought into use and the flames
finally put out, but not before Mr..
Smith was frightfully burned about
his head and body, particularly the
former His hair was also burned
off and it was feared he had inhaled
some of the flames. Suffering agony
he was removed to the Hospital,
where he was treated, and the an
nouncement is made that he will
recover unless complications set in.
The sum of $50 in bills, which was in
his pocket, was destroyed.
