PAINFULLY BURNED
BY RANGE EXPLOSION
Baker in Home of Mrs.
Dewey Nester Let Go
Last Night.

Mrs. Dewey Nester, of Sabraton
street, Bellview, was painfully but not
seriously burned about the hands,
neck and head late last night, when a
gas explosion took place in the kitch-
en- range at her home. While the ex-
plosion was severe. knocking Mrs.
Nester down, there was no damage
done to the room in which the explo-
sion took place either from fire or the
shock of the blast.
Mrs. Nester had been at church SER
vices early in the evening and had
been accompanied home by the Misses
Sidwell. Arriving at her residence,
Mrs. Nester started to prepare sup
per for her husband who would ar
rive home near midnight from the B.
& o. shops. The Sidwell girls decided
to remain few minutes at the Nester
home.
Mrs. Nester lighted the baker in
the range and closed the baker door,
and in so doing must have blown out
the flame. A few minutes later the es-
Gaping gas ignted from another burn
et, causing the explosion. Mrs. Mes
ter was knocked down and painfully
burned, while the Sldwell girls were
slightly burned.
Neighbors rushed in and believed
Mrs. Nester seriously injured. How
ever when a physicion had been called
1t was found her injuries were not
serious, but exceedingly painful. She
was resting easier at late hour this
morning.

Harr to Resign
as Head Of Survey

Levi B. Harr has determined to re
sign as chairman for Marion county
in the rural survey of the Inter-church
World movement. Mr.. Harr accepted
this place when a conference was held
here some months ago to get the work
started in Marion county. The move
ment has taken on such Importance,
however, that Mr.. Harr canont see his
way clear to give up the time that
is required TO make the survey sur
cess. Mr.. Harr has so many calls on
his time In connection with his bus
mess affairs that after contemplating
resigning for some time he has finally
come 30 that conclusion. The original
plan was to make the survey in a
single community in Marion county
in order to outline the work for leaders
in the various committees.
