Leaving the building tightly closed
while they were away on an outing
the home of W. S. Ramsey became fill-
ed with gas and exploded, blowing the
four outer walls upon the lawn and
leaving the four inner walls standing
supporting the roof. It is thought the
explosion was caused by the spontan-
eous combustion of the gas when it
became heated by the intense sun
rays. A baby in a crib in a neighbor-
ing house was lifted bodily by the
force and thrown several feet. Sev-
eral other persons were thrown from
