BOY BURNED TO DEATH WITH
GASOLINE

As result of playing with gaso-
line, l4-year-old Clarence Unger was
burned to crisp over his whole
body, New Years Eve; was burned
nearly in half when the blazing gaso-
line penetrated parts of his body:
and in spite of this lived for five
hours at the home of his father, Mar
shall Unger. between Glengarv and
Pine Grove, Va
The boy, with a younger brother,
was playing about the sawmill on his
fathers place. and had built a fire
for warmth. A bucket of gasoline
sat under a leaking carburetor of the
tractor that ran the saw-mill Clar-
ence made use of this to hurry the
fire along. In some way, he spilled
a quantity of the gasoline on his
clothing. and the boy became sudden
" a mass of flames. The terrified
Younger brother ran for help. Clar-
ence. his clothing ablaZe, grabbed the
heavy cloth tractor cover and wrap
ped his head in that for protection.
The flames ate into his flesh over his
whole body, and he screamed as he
tried to burrow in the sawdust pile
while he was being burned alive. His
older brother at the house, some dis
lance away. heard his screams and
rushed to him. Before he arrived,
the bows clothing had been burned
from his body entirely. Even the
thick felt of the felt boots Clarence
was wearing had been burned down
to the rubbers. The boys entire
body, except for his head and feet,
was burned to crisp. DR.. NJ G
Hoffman, of Bunker Hill. was called,
but medical skill could do nothing.
In spite of this. the boy lived I'M
til nearly midnight of New Years
Eve. The tragedy occurred about 5
o'clock in the evening.
