HAS NARROW
ESCAPE FROM
BURNING AUTO :
.
Kaymond Kriskey Has Startling Ex-
perience Late Saturday After-
E00n a doe Call.

From MonJaVn Dallv
Saturdav afternoon shortlv after
5:30 o'clock. Ravmond Kriskev had
a verv close call "from receiving seri-
ous if rot fatal injuries when his
auto causrht af.re on the highway
near the .Missouri t'acinc passenger
station, and but for the coolness and
prompt f.ction of the young man he
would probably have met his death
in the accident.
Mr. Kriskey had started for home
in his Furd roadster, having with
him in the car a two-gallon can of
gasoline, the can resting on the floor
of the car. In the jolting of the
auto it seems that some of the gaso
line slopprd out and as the car was
near the depot, the gasoline leaking
out fell on the heated exhaust pipe
of the car and in a second a sheet of
flame darted up through the Soor and
ienited the clothing of Raymond.
The car was still in motion when the
v.ueuL .ive. cm. uii see-
ins tr.e uangtr or ir.e mowing up ci
the can of caso'.ine. leaped from the
car. tearin.: off his shirt and trousers
which were flaminar vnd stamping
out the blaze in the clothing. The
car had trained some headway by this
time and started down the small in
cline from the depot to Elm street
and Raymond raced after the car,
being able to reach it after a hard
run when the car had gene the dis
tance of a block, and despite the
blaze was able to shut the car off,
burning his right hand very badly
in gettinsr the car stopped. The eas-
oline can had
exploded before Kris-
key reached the car and it was burn
ing quite rapidly when the
man reached it.

Those who had seen the burning
car had turned in an alarm for the
in !in alarm tni t r u
fire department and the engine ar
rived on the scene of action in time
to save part of the car and extin
guish the blaze before it entirely con
sumed the roadster.
The car was the property of Frank
Krejcd and was beins usti hj Mr.
Kriskey, who was to have purchased
it from the owner.

Mr. and Mrs. Adam Frledrlch,
from McLean, Nebraska, arived ln
ass county yesteraay ior a Drier visit
with friends and relatives and will

they were pleasant callers at the

rich have been among our valued
readers for the past few years, and
we were more than pleased to meet
them once more. They report a very
pleasant trip, the roads ln excellent
condition, gravel most all the way
except ln Cas3 county, and crop3
looking fine all the way through.
They were compelled to cut their
visit rather short owing to the busy
season, as the threshing time will be
on as soon as they arrive home.
