pouring oil into a coal stove to relight the fire which he supposed had gone out while the family was away from home. The embers in the stove were still hot and the accumulated gas exploded completely enveloping the room in flames.

to death in the fire and both Mr. And Mrs. Burns were so seriously burned that they died during the night.Mrs. Burns and her daughter, two years old, were taken to Lubbock
