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.
