Braddyville, Oct. 21. – Kerosine Explosion.
While attempting to start a fire with kerosine Wednesday noon, Mrs. Bert Jenkins, who lives on the farm known as the Dr. Biggs' farm between Braddyville and Clearmont, was very seriously burned.
Mrs. Jenkins had been out of doors and when she came in about noon, she went to start a fire in order to get dinner. She started a small blaze in the stove and in order to make a hotter fire she undertook to pour some kerosine in the blaze when it exploded and caught her dress on fire. Her clothes were burned from off her body before anyone reached her. Her husband was at the barn and when he saw the flames he ran to the house but too late. Mrs. Jenkins was removed to one of the neighbors and is being cared for but is in a very critical condition. The house and most of the contents were burned to ashes.
LATER – the burns sustained were so severe that it was impossible for her recovery. She died at the home of her brother-in-law who lives near where the tragedy occurred. Her death occurred at 6:30 Wednesday evening.

A little child of Mr. and Mrs. John Kapple died Saturday night from diphtheria in southeast Clarinda. They are poor people and the county had to foot the bill. It is said two more children in the family are also down with the dreaded disease. Want of proper care is doubtless the cause of its appearance. Strict care should be taken to avoid its spread.

She became ill with consumption about eight months ago and since that time has been a great, though patient sufferer. Soon after becoming ill, she was brought to the home of her parents, remaining there about two months. She became better and it was thought she would recover. She returned to her home, where she soon became worse, and although all that loving hands could do for her was done, grew worse rapidly. About a month before her death she was again brought to her parents' home. Although her suffering was great, she did not complain; she told her friends that she was going to die, was simply waiting for the time to come, and that she was ready to go.
The funeral was at the home of the parents, Sunday, at 2 pm. Rev L.R. Thomas officiated, taking for his text II Corinthians iv, 17. "For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory."

We are in receipt of a copy of the Idaho Recorder, published at Salmon City, Idaho, in which is recorded the death of Mrs. Sarah M. Leacock, wife of A. C. Leacock, near that town, on Monday, September 18. Deceased will be remembered as a daughter of Josiah Buckingham, formerly of this county, and at one time one of the county supervisors. At present he is living at Buffalo, Wyoming. Mrs. Leacock was married in Clarinda in 1876. The particulars of her death are very sad. She was sewing at her home and her husband was working near the house. She had promised to call him within a very short time from the time he left the house and as she did not do so for a couple of hours, he went to the house but was met on the way by a neighbor who told him that his wife was dead. He found the terrible news to be true. She had been troubled with an ulcer near her ankle and the disease had eaten into an artery, which ruptured while the husband was absent, causing her death by loss of blood before she could call help. Besides her husband, the deceased leaves a family of five children.

NYMAN – A picnic was held at Mrs. Mainquist's which ended with a terrible accident. Some of the boys had made a cannon out of a piece of gas pipe and stopped up one end with lead. They put a large amount of powder into it and when it was fired off the lead got loose and came roaring through the crowd, striking Lorence Lunberg [Lundberg], cutting off one leg, from which he died three hours and a half later. Frank Mainquist had both of his legs so badly injured that there is very little or no hopes of his recovering. Laurence Lunberg [Lundberg] was about eight years old. His funeral was held Wednesday.
