Miss Helen Smith, office girl in the
Kubisiak Plumbing Shop, had very
narrow escape from what might have
been a very serious accident on Sat
urday morning last. It seems that
when she arrived at the shop, the men
were all out and she attempted to start
the fire. The soft coal back fired and
she received the greater amount of
the blaze in her face, burning her eye

remedies applied to relieve the burns.
She was able to return to work in the
afternoon.
