DEATH LURKS IN
THE KEROSENE CAN|
— ————» »
A SAD TALK TO BE BEAD BY
, HTfATIOS WHO DO SOT BK.
LIEYE IX THE THEORY THAT
OIL. WIliL BI'RN—THE I>AI Kl\.
Bt'KG TRAGEDY.
A large por cent, of the people
do not believe that kerosene will
burn. If the victims of oil cans could
be du«; up out of the cemeteries an.t
forced to anwwer a questionnaire,
doubtless all of them would agreo
that they were mistaken. We have
seen poor, deluded creatures stand
and pour oil on a fire or in a atove
out «f a. kerosene can. either right
onto the blaze, or upon coals, where
immediately a dangerous gas forms.
,AH the while the pitiful creatuiv
j would be looking off, and talking
about something else.
If those Danbury and Stokes* coun. i
I
ty boys and girls, and men and
women who have this dangerous
habit, will read about the Laurin.
burg, tragedy which happened lan:
week (printed below), and try
keep tbler mind on the subject until
■ they read the piece clear through,
maybe it will at least impress on
their consclousnaj enough to remind
| them to give a warning to Innocent
bystander* so they may escape when
the oil can is reached Dor.
I Now listen:
' Laurin burg, Oct. 2.—Six members
of one family who were fatally
j.-. «(=- 1
burned when an oil can exploded
and set thedr house afire were buried
here today.
[ They were John E. Ruaa, 21, em.
ploys* of a gnocwy; Mrs. Ora Lee j
Ruaa. 22, his wife; their three small
children, and Mis* Maggie Ruaa, IS,!
his lister.
j The children, the eldest five years
Old and the youngest, three month*.'
were buried in one grave near those'
of their mother and father.
Rusla was putting kerosene on a
fire be had kindled in the fireplace
in the bedroom of their home when
i
the can exploded- Instantly, the
room blazed In a dozen places and
every living thing In the house. In.'
l
eluding; two pet dog* burned to'
death.
Residents of the neigh borh >cd
•who ran to the scene told a graphto
story of the tragedy. They saw j
Runs standing with his clothln3
afire and his wife attempting to ai>.l
hsm. They heard their piercing
screams, but were helpless.
1 The three children burned to
death in their beds. Both Rusa and
I
his wife lived for six hours and
MTA RUM about eight.
Bur-Lai was In Hillside Cemetery. J
Tho Rev. W. L. Dawson, pastor of
the Calendonla Methodist Church
conducted the services.
