The News Boy., February 03, 1894
Benton, Scott County, Missouri
Burned Perhaps Fatally
Wm. Quigley, a driver in the employ of the Water-Pierce Oil Co. at St. Louis, was badly burned the other day. Quigley delivered some gasoline at a business house, and naturally stepped up to the stove for purpose of warming his hands. His clothes were saturated with the inflammable fluid and caught fire. In a moment the poor fellow was blazing from head to foot. Ernest Hulser, one of the men in the place, showed great presence of mind by catching Quigley and throwing him bodily throught the front door and into a snowdrift. There he rolled him untill the flames were extinguished. Quigley may die from his injuries.
