the explosion and as a result was
most seriously burned about the
face, neck and arms. Mr. WoiIha
was also badly burned. Both were
removed to the hospital and are con-
sidered TO be in a serious condition
by attending physicians
a bucket brigade composed of
neighbOrs living close by threw some
water on the burning kitchen. but
the local fire company took the mat
ter IN hand on their arrival. The
boys never made quicker run
The whole interior OF the kitchen
was badly burned and smoke ami

ing room opening from the kitchen.
Some furniture and hangings were
also ruined.
The unfortunate victims of the
