CLOTHES CATCH FROM MOTOR.

Goshen Girl Badly Burned While Riding Near Rushville. Rushville, Ind., July 31.—Miss Lucille Starbuck, of Goshen, narrowly escaped being burned to death near here today when her clothes became ignited from the gasoline tank on the motorcycle which she was riding, the flames enveloping her before her companion could stop the machine and help her. The two finally succeeded in putting the fire out, but not before the girl was badly burned. The machine was destroyed.
