Fire.

HoULT, April 23.-Mrs. John sni-
der is another victim of the practice
of starting fire with a can of kero-
sene. Yesterday evening between five
and six O'Clock The fire in the kitchen
stove was not doing well and she
picked up the oil can and poured
some oil on it. The explosion which
followed blew off teh top of the can
and was heard by neighbors nearly a
quarter of a mile away. The blazing
oil was thrown over her, setting her
clothing on fire. Her screams brought
neighbors to her assistance, but she
was very severely burned before the
blazing clothing could be torn from
her and the fire extinguished.
Cook hospital was called and sent
down an ambulance for her, arriving
at the hospital about nine O'Clock.
The physician said she was very
badly burned, and did not hold out a
great amount of hope, but said if she
lived twenty-four hours she would
eprhaps recover.
Mrs. Snider is a daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Harry Johnson, who lately
moved to Ohio, and the young couple
who were only married about three
months ago, had just lately gone to
housekeeping. The sad affair has
cast feeling of gloom and sadness
over the whole neighborhood and
everybody sympathizes with the
young couple and hope for the best:
