May 14 Orson Brown was badly buned on his entire right side Friday, when gasoline he was pouring into the carburetor of his wood machine engine exploded. John West, who was working with him, tried to put out the fire by rolling Mr. Brown in the dirt, but his clothes had ignited so quickly that it was impossible to keep the flames from him entirely. Mr. Brown is now a patient in the Ticondergoa hospital.
