One of the saddest misfortunes
that, perhaps, this community
has ever known of, occurred last
Wednesday - about three miles
from town, when Mr. Ned Picard
was completely enveloped in
flames caused from the explosion
of a can of gasoline oil suspend
ed from the handlebars of his
motorcycle. Had it not been for
two colored men who happened
along just after the explosion,
Mr. Picard would doubtless have
burned to death,' for already he
bad given up aL hones of relief
and nad gone into the woods
where his body was found, while
his machine was left smoking in
the road. .The colored men mov
ed him to Mr. H. J. Vaughan's
where, owing to the illness of
our faithful physician, Dr. Mitch

and took the patient to: his home
