finery of tho Dabros Products
corporation. Four others escaped
unhurt, dragging with them a,
tUtty so severely burned ho is
not expected to live.
The spread of tho blazing oil,
following the explosion, for a time
threatened a largo portion of the

cial" of the refinery placed tho

Maintained ut a refining tem
peratuvo of 800 degrees, Fahren
heit, one of the 600-gallon . stills
Is- believed to huve become over
heated while oil wus being poured
into it, causing the oxploslon which
sent a column of oil through tho
m,etal roof and one sido o.f the

James Fleming, foroimin of the
exploding still, wus ono of those
burned to death. In a laboratory
20 feet away, the body of Walter
