Miss Pauline Harris, of Kansas City, Injured.
The following is taken from the Kansas City Post of Tuesday night and refers to
the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ben HARRIS, of Kansas City, formerly residents of
this city. 
"Miss Pauline Harris, 1726 Holly street, is in a serious condition at the
general hospital as the result of burns last night when an automobile in which
she was riding caught fire at Westport avenue and Main street. The car was being
driven by Homer RITTERHOFF, 3921 Forest Avenue. Though Ritterhoff helped Miss
Harris from the car as soon as he discovered the flames, she was badly burned
about the face, hands and body. A leaking gasoline line is believed to have
caused the fire."
