The Fremont Tribune gives partic
ulars of the death July 13 of Mrs.
Walter Price, nee May Morton, a former
Colfax county teacher, whose home was
in Biohland precinct. She had not suc
ceeded in lighting the kitchen fire for
supper, and poured some coal oil direct
ly from the can onto the kindling. The
result was an explosion shattering the
can and setting fire to her clothing.
Before the flames could be put out her
garments were almost entirely burned
from her body. Her face was slightly
burned and her body and limbs were
dreadfully seared by the fire. It waa at
oooe seen that there was no substantial
hope for her recovery and after linger
ing in excessive pain for six hours she
passed away. It is thought that Mrs.
Price poured the kerosene upon the
material in the stove thinking that the
fire had all gone out. Some sparks must
have been atill smouldering in the stove,
however, aa the explosion took place
while ahe had the oil can in her band
and before she had applied a match to
the fuel. The unfortunate woman leaves
a husband and seven ohildren. She was
37 years of age. The funeral services
were held at the family residence at 2
o'clock this afterncon, conducted by
Rev. F. H. Sanderson. A large number
of sympathising neighbors and friende
of the aMicted family were present to
pay their last homage to the dscsaasd."
