Nearly Burned To Death

On Saturday evening at about half past five o'clock Mary Schleyer attempted, while the gasoline was burning, to fill the tank of a line stove, at the residence of Mrs. Medaris on William street. The gasoline quickly caught fire and soon enveloped the girl in ñames. She had the presence of mind to rush out of the house to where Mrs. Medaris was spnnkling the lawn in front of the house, and Mrs. Medaries turned the hose on her and extinguished the flames, but not until she had been terribly burned about the back and ankles. Late in the evening, she was removed on a couch to her home on West Second street, where she is resting quietly.
