Morley Salmon, aged 10, was fatally Burned when CJotliing Caught Fire from Explosion. b Terrible burns, suffered in an ex­ plosion. whch resulted after he had poured coal-oil on burning embers in the kitchen stove at his home in Zurich, proved fatal Monday to Mor­ ley Salmon, aged 10 years old. The lad died in St, Joseph’s hospital, London, in the evening, within two hours after he had been admitted. He was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Ches­ ter Salmon and Monday was the first day of his summer vacation. His sister, Janet, aged five, who was in the kitchen at the time of the explosion, was painfully burned a- bout the face and head. Her con­ ation is not serious. A brother, Hu­ bert, aged 4, who was also in the room, escaped unhurt. The lad’s parents were not in the house when the fatal explosion occurred. The mother was in a nearby field and the lad was preparing to wash the breakfast dishes, that he might surprise her when she returned. Preparatory to heating the water the boy attempted to rekindle the fire, and the explosion occurred when he poured the coal-oil on the burning embers. The force of the blast blew the bottom out of the re­ tainer and ignited the tablecloth and the linoleum on the floor. With hs clothing aflame the child rushed from the house, screaming for help. A neighbor, Petei' Krupp, partly succeeded in extinguishing the flames, but not before the burns had taken fatal effect. The boy was taken to the office of Dr. A. J. Mc­ Kinnon and was at once removed to, the hospital at London where he' was attended by Dr. Hadley Wil­ iams. Besides his parents the lad is sur- ived by one sister, Janet, and three brothers, Clifford, Homer and Hu­ bert, is a LITTER OF TWENTY PIGS Mr. Luther Reynolds, of Usborne, has a sow that gave birth to a litter of twenty pigs on Monday, all living. With such a numerous family it is necessary that they take their meals in relays and so Mr. Reynolds per­ mits only half of them to feed at a time.

The game, which was a nip and tuck struggle all the way through, developed into a pitcher’s duel between Lawson and Horton with both moundsmen giving fine exhibitions with numerous strike­ outs to their credit, and keeping the hits well scattered. On several occasions both teams had runners on bases and but for the fine dis­ play of pitching and errorless sup­ port the score would have been lar­ ger. Dr. Fletcher of Exeter, received the side of bacon, he beidg the hol­ der of the lucky seat. The batteries:- For Exeter, Law- son and Taylor; for Hensall, Horton Harness B. and L.
