Burtner Through the carelessness of the chairman of the dance committee Burtner came nearly having a fire last Friday night that would have cost them about x $5,000. An oil stove was placed in the dance hall before the dance started, and the stove was closed up tight and left burning for some time alone, till the explosion occurred, blowing the stove all to pieces. Mr. Eccles, who lived by the hall, heard the racket and seeing the blaze inside rushed to the hall with an axe, broke open the door and finally succeeded in extinguishing the flames, there being little damage done only scorched the walls a little.
