Youth Painfully Burned in Explosion At Nacogdoches
Angus Andis, 15-year-old son of Mrs. Mary Andis, was painfully though not seriously burned today at 1 o’clock. Young Andis was doing an errand for his mother. He was ill and away from school.
Mrs. Andis was making a soap preparation using concentrated lye. The young son was sent to see about it, and upon approaching the kettle, the can of lye left in the kettle to dissolve came to the top and exploded, throwing the hot lye over his face and head.
A physician was summoned immediately and following a quick application of a home remedy, the examination revealed that no apparent serious injury was sustained.
Though experiencing excruciating pains the young man did not attempt to scratch his face, thereby confining the burns to his face and head.—Nacogdoches Sentinel, Dec. 9.
