Oil Stove Explodes Burning Buena Vista Residence

Buena Vista, Ga., March 17 –

The handsome residence of W.M. Williams was completely destroyed by fire at an 
early hour this morning, entailing a loss of something over $5,000, which is 
only partially covered by insurance.

The cook was starting to prepare breakfast and was using the oil stove.  In 
some manner the oil ignited and an explosion followed.  The burning oil spread 
over the entire room and in a moment the building was a fire in a half dozen 
places.  The fire spread so rapidly that it was impossible to save but a small 
portion of the household effects.
