Havird. v Just as the buggy reached the corner at Dr. P. E. Way's drug store the woman, wrapped in flames, was seen trying to get out o fthe buggy. As her clothing was entangled in the reins of tV,n Vs?a rno?s sbo fp>11 tr? thf> 2TOUnd With U4-.V ***** ** ? V ? s_? the fire encircling her body. Messrs Hutchinson and Havird rushed to her asesistance, pulling off iheir overcoats and fighting the flames, smothering them after good work. Mr. Aiken JL* eagle headed off the mule and kept it from running away. The woman was taken into Dr. Way's store and Dr. Keifer Wicker treated her burns. It was found that she was not seriously burned, only hei lert lower iimo Demo- sumewuai affected by the flames. While luckily it was no worse., the woman made a very narrow escape. The accident was the result of the laprobes becoming ignited from a lantern in the buggy. The top laprobe was over a blanket ani tliey protected the clothing of the woman, which fact, with the quickness of the men's help, saved her life. Moral: Don't warm your feet in the buggy with a lantern. ^ CROMER-McCARIEY Popular Trained Jfurse Marries Army Officer From Ohio. The State, 9th.
