Bill Stalling Badly Hurt Near Kinston Bill Stallings was seriously burned Saturday night near Kinston, where he was working on a road paving job. Suffering bad burns on the face, on his right arm and on the right leg from hip to knee, Mr. Stallings was admitted to a Kinston hospital where he stayed until Monday when Walter Umphlett, of Winfall, brought him back to his home near here. It is understood that Mr. Stallings, driving a truck loaded with asphalt, had driven onto a ramp preparatory to unloading his truck. A small kerosene guide lamp, which in some unexplained manner had been filled with gasoline, was upset and rolled down the ramp bursting when it struck the ground. Mr. Stallings' clothing was sprayed with burning gasoline. The timely aid of other workmen nearby saved him from probably more serious injury.
