C. M. Connelly, who resides at the end
of Kings highway outside tho city, suf
fered severe burns about the face and
eyes, and may lose his right eye al
though he was able to Bee out of It a
little today.
Mrs. Connelly had started to town in

of gasoline. Last evening after his re
turn home and on being told of the
stalled car he and Mrs. Connelly went
to tho car with a can of gasoline.
As he screwed off the cap of the
gasoline tank with one hand and held
a lighted match with the other, he had
just remarked to his wife who assured
him the tank was empty because of
her examination of It In the afternoon,
"I would be in a tough fix with this
lighted match If thero was gas In
here," and lifted off tho cap. Imme
diately there followed an explosion.
Mrs. Connelly who was standing
beside him was unhurt. Tho injur
ed man was rushed to Sacred Heart
hospital in an auto where ho was at
tended by Drs. R. W. Stearns and J.
J. Kmmens.
"Thero couldn't havo been much
gas In the tank, If any, although the
explosion was loud," said Mrs. Con
nelly In describing tho explosion. "I
am told that the explosion would havo
occurred anyhow from tho escaping
fumes. He was standing up straight
at the time and not poerlng Into the
tank opening."
A peculiar feature of tho accident
Ib that the tank and car wore un
damaged by the explosion.
