It Was All Ablaze
IT WAS ALL ABLAZE
CHEMICAL LABRATORY CAUGHT AFIRE THIS MORNING.
"Mike" Condon Burned his Hands in Trying to Extinguish It.-Started From Burning Phosphorous.
The many friends of Michael Condon, dispensing clerk of the pharmacy de-partment will be greatly relieved in learning that his accident this morning was not as serious as at first reported. He was not engaged in weighing out some phosphorous. Some pieces fell on the floor and, as is always the case with phosphorous when taken out of the water in which it is kept, ignited. In trying to put out the fire Mr. Condon's hands were burned, but his eyes were not touched as was reported. He was taken to the home of his brother-in-law George Hayler, where his hands were dressed. The fight to put out the fire was lively for an hour, as it is very dif-ficult to extinguish burning phosphor-ous. Not very much damage was done to the building or materials. Alto-gether everybody can be congratulated on the out come of the accident that it was not more serious.
Mr. Condon has been dispensing clerk so long that memory of a man runneth not to the contrary. He has a wonder-ful memory never forgetting the name or face of a student. He is deservedly popular with the students who appreci-ate his unvaring good nature and the immense fund of valuable information that he always is ready to give for any one's benefit. Everybody will be glad to see "Mike" out again after his nar-row escape.
