A quantity of gasoline and oil ami several autotinobiles were stored in the building, and {he fire spread rapid ly after the first explosion. Young Simpson ran from the burning build ing with his clothes aflame his entire length. Lee Shuler and Robert Flet cher, the former also an employe of the establishment, saw his emerge and ran to his assistance. * Confused by the fire that enveloped him, and suffering agony from burns i already sustained, the young man | turned and tied from his companions, | who gave chase. He was finally ov ertaken by Shuler, who took off his own coat and smothered the flames with it. S : mpson was hurried to the Concord Hospital. He will recover. | The warehouse and the automobiles ; and other commodities in it were to- I tally destroyed. The fire department lat Concord was called on for assist -1 ance.
