A Narrow Escape.

Our former townsman, J. F. Warren, now living at Oklahoma City, had a narrow esoape from losing his residence as well as his wife one day Igst week. Mr. Warren was away from home at the time. Mrs. Warren was getting breakfast on the kitshen range, and just as she stepped from the kitchen the stove exploded from thp accumulation of coal gas. The kitchen and range were oompletely demolished and nearly every article in the room was ruined. But for the fact that Mrs. Warren stepped from the kitchen just before the explosion she would probably have been killed or badly injured. The kitchen will have to be rebuilt and refurnished. They report very cold wof ther In Oklahoiha City.
