MAN BURNED TO DEATH.
Petrol Ignites.

COMPANION'S NARROW ESCAPE.
MELBOURNE, September 25.
Richard George Argall, farmer, of Kiata, in the Mallee, was burned to death when a 44-galIon drum of petrol ignited early to-day. Argall went with Keith Hateley to a barn, where the drum was stored, to get petrol for a car. Argall carried a lighted lantern, and Hateley was pouring petrol into a two-gallon measure when the petrol Ignited. A wall of fire cut off escape from the barn. Argall and Hateley got bags to try to extinguish the flames. Hateley escaped from the burning building, and thought Argall followed. When he discovered that Argall was missing he roused the household. Men smashed open the side of the barn with axes, and found Argall's body badly charred.
