BAD FIRE AT LOCKNEY

The installation of natural gas for
for domestic purposes proved to be n
very expensive and sorrowful undertak
ing FOR l.. IT, Collins. prominent and
wealthy farmer of near Lockney.
Tuesday Mr.. Collins had just finish
ed plumbing his house for gas and the
meter was set and the gas turned into
the house line by Jimmie Bryner. The
local Hope meter man. Before turn
ing in the gas Mr Bryner asked if all
the stops in the house were closed and
was told they were. He turned in tho
gas and with some of the members of
the Collins family, was sitting by the
hre waiting for supper. One of Mr..
collins sons remarked that he thought
he would go up stairs and see if all the
stops were turned off and not leaking.
he did so, but very unfortunately took
lighted oil lamp with him. When he
went into small close bedroom there
was terrific explosion and I'm a few
moments the house was i'm a mass of
names. MIR. Collins. the younger. whose
name is Az, was blown from the room
ana terribly burned. He is still i'm n
very grave condition although IL IL
thought that he will get well.
The house was burned to the ground,
Few OF the contents being saved. The
loss Is considerable and uninsured.
lt IN presumed that the stop i'm the
room entered by Mr.. Collins was not
turned of, and when the gas reached
the flame of the lamp carried by him
1t was ignited with the results stated.
Inc bursting of the lamp and spreading
OF the oil made matters worse, as the
gas would have probably blown itself
ont had 1t not had something highly in.
flamable to ignite.
