i BARTLESvILLE, Okla. April
I5.--A race with death was run by
a rabbit and man at what was
the Eastern Torpedo Company's
nitroglycerln plant, four miles from
here, a few days ago.
The rabbit lost-but the man
won.
As r. @. Camblin, glycerin
maker at the plant, tells It. he did
a quarter of a mile in nothing
fiat. Camblin was firing up the
boiler in the plant when a cotton
tail rabbit which had made it's way
into the boiler boy for an after
moons siesta, dashed out with it's
fur saturated with oil and on fire.
The first race was on as the
rabbit. a Ieaping ball of fire,
dashed through the door. But the
rabbit. in an effort to put out the
flames. slipped under the flooring
of the nitro-glycerin plant.
Camblin's race then began.
He knew only too well that there
were forty quarts of "let go" in
the tanks. He raced from the
plant and had covered q quarter
of a mile through some pretty
footwork not seen even on college
cinder tracks when there came a
roaring explosion which shook

completely wiped out the plant.
