Crowd Sees Woman Burned.

Mrs. John Stinson, who occupies a flat in the Burkh&rd block on Main street, St Joseph, Mich., was burned to death in the presence of a crowd of neighbors. Her clothing had become ignited from the explosion of a can of kerosene with which she was kindling a fire. She ran into the street, ablaze from head to foot, and perished before anything could be done to save her.
