Betts is Victim of Gaso line Stove Accident and .Her House is Wrecked by Flames. NEIGHBOR TO RESCUE George Glasgow, Who Lives Across the Street, Succeeded in Extin guishing Burning Clothing of Victim. At midnight laat night, reports from the hospital were that Mrs. Betts' con dition was regarded as extremely critical. Doubts were expressed as to whether she would be able to live through the night. Mrs. Mary E. Betts, 1826 High street, was seveerly burned Friday fternoon when her clothing caught from flames from the gasoline which had evidently been turned on sbne time before the torch was applieoSand which burst into flames in an irtKant. George Glasgow, a neighbor lNing across the street, heard Mrs. Be\^g» daughter-in-law cry for help, and ra* to the aid of Mrs. Betts. By the timyhe had beaten out the fire in her clotMr*:, the flames had been communicated to the other rooms in the house, ana^o was badly gutted by fire and water. Onjer neigh bors who responded were Mr»! Oliver Honce and Mrs. Daley. Mrs. Betts was removed to Grtkyam hospital and physicians were sma moned. It was found that she wa» very seriously burned about the arms and legs. The effect of the burns and the shock on her system is feared by her relatives and friends, although hopes are entertained for her recovery. Reports from the hospital were that she spent a fairly satisfactory night, Friday night. Burner la Turned On. Whether a child who was in the house with Mrs. Betts had turned the burner in the stove, or whether she had inadvertently turned it, is not known. But when Mrs. petts attempt ed to light the stove, the torch ignited the gasoline and the flames flared up and caught her clothing. Mrs. Betts is a semi-invalid and was not able to get %ack from the fire. George Glasgow lives across the rescue. He found her clothing was UlffiCUity tn&t D0 8UCC66Q6u fit ooo v«t, qqp ing out the fire. He suffered' slight I "2 *°rth burns on his hand as the result of the attempt to aid Mrs. Betts. House Mass of Flames. In the meantime the burning gaso line had communicated to the other rooms in the house, and the house was a mass of flames, when the fire department arrived. A line of hose was laid from the hydrant near the Torrence school, but the pressure seemed weak, on account of the dis tance. The truck was sent to Eigh teenth and Concert streets, where a line was laid and connected with the pump on the truck. This gave the firemen sufficient pressure as the pump on the truck drew the water out of the mains about as fast as they could be filled. The house" was badly gutted and charred Inside and outside because of the start which the flames se cured. It was figured that it was al most ten minutes from the time the stove exploded until the alarm was sent in, as Mr. Glasgow was working to save Mrs. Betts, and had no time to either put out the fire in the house or call the fire department for several minutes. This gave the flames a good headway. The alarm was turned in at 5:25 o'clock Friday night. REJOICES IN VICTORY FOR PYTHIAN HOME Dr. J. F. Cole of Oleweln Had Been Advocate of Project for Many Years.
