BOY BADLY BURNED
YANKTON LAD FALLS ONTO HOT KETTLE OF LARD, SUFFERING INJURIES.
Yankton.—Myron Jencks, son of Mr. and Mrs. Leroy Jencks, met with a most serious and extremely painful accident by stumbling over a large hot lard pan, used in the Jencks bakery for frying doughnuts. Myron was passing quickly through the bakeshop when he stumbled over the pan, which had just been set on the floor from the fire. The young man received severe burns from the knees to the ankles, where the boiling lard soaked through his stockings.
The burning was so severe as to remove the flesh in many places and for hours Myron suffered great agony, and little relief could be obtained until about 9 o'clock.
