Washburn was called out to Frank Schroer’s in Barkley tp., early Wednesday morning, to dress the hands of Mr. Schroer, who had received some very painful burns in his attempt to extinguish a small fire that started mysteriously, apparently in the corner of a bed, in a room where there was no stove.
