TWO INJURED AND. ONE KILLED AS GAS. EXPLODES IN AUTO.
Three Occupants of Closed Car EnveIoped in Flames When Fumes Are Ignited
 at Filling Station

Demopolis, Ala. November 1s.- Especial. .)-Explosion of gas fumes in an automobile belonging to Will liam Wttel here late Saturday aft- ernoon resulted in the death of his wife. the serious burning of his daughter, Bertha wittel. and such in- juries to Wlttel himself that he may lose one of his arms.
 The distressing accident occurred al a gasoline filling station in the town here, and is thought directly due to the fact that the curtains were up on the car and kept the gas from escaping. Holding lantern over the gas tank by negro employe after it had been filled was responsi- bit for the ignition of the gas.
 Flames leaped 30 feet into the air and Mrs. Wlttel. who was on the front seat with her husband. was en- veloped in an instant. Seeing the predicament of the passengers in the closed car. Norman Boggess, opera tor of the filling station, rushed In and rescued Mrs. Wittel from the burning car. He was badly burned nlnlSeiI III ms HeFolc aeiioH, anu nhi .. Wittel was already almost lifeless
 Miss Bertha Wittel, who was on the rear seat. was also enveloped by the sudden burst of flames. A fire extinguisher at the filling station was used to rescue her, but she was badly burned and was rushed to the hospital along with her mother, who died at 6 o'clock this morning. Miss Wittel is still in the hospital, but it is thought that she is ndt so seri- ously burned but what she will re- cover.
 wittel is a junior member of the firm of E. S. Wittel & Sons, who op- crate a spoke and handle factory at Shortleaf, near here Mrs. Wtttel was formerly Miss Daisy Cochrun of Ohio. She was a sister of John Coch- run of this place. Funeral arrange ments have not been made pending the arrival of relatives from Ohio
