Driving his car to a local gar- age for a fill of gas, the attend- ant at the garage removed the tube from -the pump and heid the nozzle at the car door and close to Mr. Mahoney, who was smoking his pipe. A small quan- tity of gas in the nozzle squirt- ed on to Mr. Mahoney`s}pi'pe and in an instant his clothing and interior of the car caught fire. Mr. Mahoney was hastily removed from the car and rolled in sand to smother the flames, but too late to prevent serious burns to his hands and arms. The skin and flesh on the back of both hands were badly burn- ed. A doctor was called and Mr. Mahoney removed to his home, where he is suffering intense pain and loss of sleep.

When we arrived at Barrie I ask- ed Clerk Simpson if he had any ten- ders and he told me he had one from the Advance. I told him we couldn't accept tenders after the time had ex- pired, that it wasn t fair. I asked the 7 clerk if he could do anything and he said he didn't know. I explained to the other members that _the tender was two days too late and we discuss- ed whether we should accept it or not. Coun. LaRose, the other member of the committee, said there was nothing to do but accept the News-Letter ten- der at $1.70. But it didn t appear to be just right to me, the News-Letter with one tender for $2.00 and another for $1.70 a page, with the Advance tender for $1.80, but it was explained that the News-Letter tenders were for 60 pound paper and the Advance for 50 pound. 6-XC-9-1-R 3-CL-11 .................... .. $ 8 75 3-CL-13 .................... .. 10 95 3-VX-13-B ................ .. 13 00 3-VXA-13-P ............ .. 13 00 3-VX-13-F.T .......... .. 13 00 3-VX-13-F.A .......... .. 13 00 3-LEV-13-B .......... .. 16 50 3-MX-13 ; ................... .. 16 50 3-GL-15 .................... .. 13 45 3-VX-15-B ................ .. 15 75 3-MXV-15-B .......... .. 19 50 WM.

He never let up and when he heard a throat gurgle he knew there was a chance and re- doubled his efforts. This was from ten to twelve minutes after she had been taken from the water. Fifteen minutes later the doctor arrived to nd- the girl breathing. Dr. Rudolph took charge and the girl was taken to my home where she remained until Fri- day. There was very little water in the lungs, the girl was stunned at the very start, I think. She must have hit her head on the steel cross bars." Dr. Rudolph said he had checked the elapsed time of submersion in the water and Was convinced it was at least eight minutes. It is not on re- cord in medical Works that a person has ever been resuscitated after be- ing totally submerged more than ve minutes, he said. It is truly a re- markable case of resuscitation.
