The Milwaukee News
Friday, 11 July, 1873

         We are again called upon to record the terrible effects
       of explosions of coal oil, two cases having occurred within
       the past two days. The first was that of the cook of the
       schooner Dolphin, which lay at the time off Racine harbor.
       He was attempting to light a fire with the dangerous fluid,
       when it took fire and exploded, burning his clothing almost
       entirely off from his body. Yesterday morning the schooner
       signalled off this harbor, and the tug Merrill went out
       and brought the man in. He was taken to St. Mary's hospital,
       where he died about noon. His name was THOMAS BUPP.
