--One of the saddest accidents which has occurred here was that of Wednesday afternoon when Mrs. R.A. Noble was seriously if not fatally burned at her home on north Summer Street. While filling a gasoline stove which was burning her dress caught fire and before it could be extinguished she was terribly burned. A fire alarm was turned in but workmen on a house nearby carried the stove to the yard and put out the fire. Everything possible is being done to relieve her suffering and she is resting easier at latest reports.
