Pointer Injures Hands While Saving House From Bad Fire.

Chas. Osborne, the painter, starred in the role of a hero this Saturday morning, but will be incapicated for work for several days in consequence. He is to paint the J. J. Eigelsbach house, on which the carpenters are working and went there this morning to make arrangements to begin the painting. He found Mrs. Eigelsbach ready to turn in a fire alarm, as the gasoline stove had been cutting some queer capers and the flames were burning to the ceiling. Charley rushed into the house, grabbed the stove and boosted it to the back yard, stopping what would doubtless have resulted in a bad Are and severely burning his hand, which he had to have a physician dress and which will be sore for several days.
