Mrs. TS Graves of No 317 North New Jersey street was badly burned by a gasoline explosion this afternoon. The family was house-cleaning and was using gasoline. Mrs. Graves and her mother, Mrs. Michael Sells, do not know how the can of gasoline came to explode as they all say the fires in the house had been turned out as a precaution. After the explosion Mrs. Graves ran from the house with her clothes ablaze. She met a driver for Albert Gall, who was bringing a carpet to the house. He wrapped the carpet around her and succeeded in smothering the flames. Mrs. Sells, who had also come to her rescue, was burned about the hands. The fire department extinguished the fire in the house, the loss on which was small. Although Mrs. Graves did not inhale any of the flames, the physicians say she is dangerously burned. She is the wife of T. Smith Graves of the Indianapolis Driving Club. About three fourths of Mrs. Graves' body was burned, though not deeply. her head, however, was fully protected by the carpet. He condition is alarming.
