GAS PIPE BURSTED—AUTO BURNED.

Saturday while John Tuesburg and family were driving along the road east of Bass Lake in their Cadillac auto, a gasoline, pipe burst, and the fluid dropped down onto the muffler which was at a white heat, causing the gasoline to explode. Within a few minutes after the explosion the car was a pile of ashes and scrap iron. Mr. Tuesburg and the members of his family were all slightly scorched, and were fortunate in escaping serious injury. —Starke County Republican.
