Milford chronicle., 1923-05-25

An automobile owned by Robert
Workman, near town, caught fire
while parked on Mulberry street, Fri
day evening and was destroyed. Nor
man Workman, son of Robert Work
man, was lying under the machine
trying to clear the gasoline pipe when
a small brother struck match to
better see what Norman was doing.
Immediately the gasoline hared up
and set fire to Norman's clothing and
rapidly spread to the body of the car,
completely destroying it before near
by residents could eXtinguish the
flames. Norman Workman was severe
ly burned about the hands and arms
and but for the fact that several men
pulled him from beneath the machine
and tore his clothing from him, would
have been burned to death. A guam
tity of groceries and chick feed that
was in the car was destroyed. Young
Workman was taken to the Office of
DR.. w. E. Douglas, where medical as
sistance was rendered. Mrs. Thomas
Spencer, a passenger in the car, es-
capped injury.
John, the five year old son of Noah
E. Warren, fell from the porch of his
residence on Friday and suffered
dislocated elbow.
While getting ice from a silo on the
farm of George Marvil, near NAPLES
Mill, DOrman Porter, of Milton, an
employee of the Milton Canning Co.,
was severely injured about the back
when a door fell across him as he was
entering the building. He was brought
to his home here and is now suffer-
ing severely. While it is thought no
bones were broken it is feared he re-
ceived internal injuries that may prove
serious.
