TWO WHITE HEX SAVE LIFE
OF BUEMXG >EGKO WOMAN
While Rena Ruff, colored, was passing
through the city Sunday afternoon
at 4:30 o'clock, with her son-in-law,
Ed Suber, in his buggy, on their way
to his home on Mi\ L. W. Floyd's place
"> T nn rroViArn'o ctrtro tho WniliaTl
liuai i.uiiftciiwi v o uvwi v, v**v ,,
met with an accident which would
have ben serious and probably fatal
but for the timely work pf Messrs
Robert L .Hutchinson and Henry D.
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.
