BLOWN FROM BED
BY GAS EXPLOSION
Interior Of Peter Audin's
Home Much Disturbed
By the Effect.

A gas explosion which occurred in
the home of Peter Audin, glass
worker. at 719 Virginia avenue, on
Sunday morning at 12:45 O'Clock did
siderable damage to the property
and resulted in Mr.. Audin receiving
severe bruises about the body.
The explosion was caused, it Is be-
lievd, by leak in the connection in
the kitchen range which ignited from
the flames in the stove. Little dam
age was done from flames, but the
conclusion caused by the explosion
threw Mr.. Audin from his bed and
broke windows, pictures and other
brio a brac. knocking plastering from
the walls and completely demolishing
the range. The house was rendered
uninhabitable by the conclusion.
The fire department was called to
the scene and had no difficulty in ex-
tinguishing the fire. The only dam
age done by the flames was to lase
curtains, table covers and other high
ly inflammable materials. which were
scorched and ruined by the fare up
from the explosion.
The department was called GU. at
12:45 o'clock Sunday afternoon to the
homo Of harles Grottendick at Ninth
