Child Pours Oil on Fire, Badly Burned
Children like to do as their elders. Little Esther Krentz, daughter of Mr. and 
Mrs. Joseph Krentz, saw her parents pour oil on the wood in the stove and so 
last Friday, when she was alone, she took the can and poured oil in the stove. 
But there was a fire in the stove. There was an explosion and the child was 
severely burned about the legs and face before the father and mother, hearing 
her cries, came and extinguished the fire. The mother was outside getting the 
wash and the father, who does night work was asleep in a nearby room when the 
accident happened. He wrapped a sheet around the child and this smothered the 
flames.
The little girl was so seriously burned that for a time, it was feared she would 
die from the effects. She suffered much pain but is now recovering. She will, 
however, be badly scarred for life.
