ST. HELENA — What might have been a real tragedy occurred at St. Helena during their July 4th celebration.
Several women were sitting visiting on benches in the park when some grown men shot Roman candles into the crowd. One of the sparks (or whatever they are called) hit Mrs. Clarence Kathol on the back of her head. She automatically put up her hand and rubbed the place it had hit and found her hair afire. She succeeded in putting out the fire but had real painful burns and bruises and a numb feeling on the right side of her head.
