CECIL u|EUALLEN BURNED
IN GASOLINE EXPLOSION

An explosion Of gasoline in front Of
the Heppner Garage on Tuesday morn
ing badly burned the right arm Of Cecil
Lieuallen. employee Of the Standard Oil
Co., who at the time was emptylng a
drum Of the fuel oil into the UNDER
ground tank Of the filling station of
Vaughn & Goodman. The gasoline was
being drained from the drum into q
couple OF I'VE gallon cans By means OF
rubber hose passing to the cans
and practically ali the gasoline had
PASSED out Of the drum, when there
was an explosion. Cecil had Just put
out his hand TO feel Of the hose when
the ignition occurred with boom and
gasoline was tnrown over ms right arm
anu Immediately nred. lie tried slap
ping out the nTe but was not success
fuI ana rushed across the street to the
front Of the Cohn Auto Co. garage
where he received assistance and the
ire was lnguished his arm from
the wrist to the shoulder was badly
burned and it is feared that it may
be necessary to resort to skin grating,
in which case young Liegallen will
have to go to Portland. He is doing
quite well, however. and 1t may not be
necessary to undergo this operation.
The fire alarm was promptly
sounded and the engine responded i'm
mediately and soon had the fire out
bnt ad IA
there would be a very extensive blaze,
and had the fire reached the frame gar
age building there might have been
different story to relate. Several par
ties rushed to the scene with chemical
fire extinguishers and these helped TO
keep the flames under control until the
big tanks on the chemical engine were
turned loose, and in a very few min
utes it was all over.
Just what caused the explosion is
mystery. and it can only be explained
by the theory that 1t was the result Of
an electric spark. caused in some man
ner by friction, combined with the in
tense heat of the sun. Mr.. Lieuallen
does not smoke, and there was no one
near by at the time who was smoking.
Recorder Hughes was standing right
beside Mr. Lieuallen and talking with
him when the blow-up took place, and
he is confident that there could not
have been live spark strike the fumes
of the gasoline from anyone smoking
or passing along the street at the
time.
The explosion and resultant blaze
caused no little amount Of excitement
for few minutes, as the blazing gas
was quite threatening to the buildings
in the vicinity before it was
brought under control. A fire in that
nest of wooden buildings on the east
side of Main street would have been a
very nasty proposition TO handle.

BOY LIFE IS SHOWN
IN TAYLOR FILM

THE Soul Of Youth" the new special
production viz Realart is a delightful
story of boyhood life, different from
any picture which has been produced,
and proving that real drama exists in
the lives of men of tomorrow as well
as in the lives Of today's grown-ups.
The principal lead in the picture Is
played by Lewis Sargent who, after
his enviable success in the title role
in the picture "Huckleberry Finn" is
a real drawing card all by himself,
But there are others as noted, Lila Lee
needs no Introduction to film patrons
william Collier, Jr., the son of the no"
ted New York stage star, went to Los
Angeles especially to play juvenile
role. Other notables are Clyde Fill
more. Ernest Butterworth, Claude Pey-
ton, Sylvia Ashton, etc.
Judge Ben Lindsey, famous judge OF
the Juvenile Delinquency Court, and
his wife, Mrs. Ben Lindsey, also ap-
pear in certain scenes Of the picture.
The picture Is filled with comedy sit
uations and has strong dramatic
theme concerning the boy who grows
UP a founding and finally takes to the
city streets, preferring them to the
cheerless institution. The picture
shows his subsequent acts and char
acter development and proves that un-
der the right environment every boy
will show lot of good qualities. 1t
is a production that will appeal to
young and old alike.
The direction is by William D. Tay-
lor. The picture is filled with suspense
and action and has most delightful
end.
