Kerosene Lamp Accident at Bristol Metis Riot
During a June 1 1870 Bristol Metis event a kerosene lamp burst from its chandelier as it swung, igniting and burning Mr Hayter of Washington County on the hand. He and others doused the flame with a wet cloth, averting further injury though panic ensued among spectators.
