Mrs. A. S. Lalßue received quite severe burns on her arms at 12! 30 today When a pan of gasoline beirtg used for cleaning a dress caught fire. Mra Laßnie screamed and Harvey Preston.» who 'lives next door, ran into the house and seeing the danger from the .burning gasoline caught the pan up and carried it to the back door and threw it out The gasoline set fire to the woodshed and the fire company .was called, and succeeded in putting out the Are without much damage. Some delay was occasioned by not knowing the fire plug number. All persons should familiarize themselves with the number of the fire plug nearest their home, or better still, the numbers on cards should be attached to the front of each telephone as was done several years ago.
