DEED OF FIENDISH CRUELTY.

Two Men Set Fire to Woman's Clothing
and She Is Burned to Death.
"Auntie" lilly Hunter, colored woman,
aged Is years, and familiar character for
years in Milwaukee, was made the victim Of
a fiendish joke, which caused her death.
About noon she entered a saloon to deliver
some towels which she had washed. Two
young fellows who were in the place asked
her to drink with them and dance for them.
She gOod-naturedlY favored them with a
plantation dance, and soon after the men,
who were strangers in the place, left. \
moment later the old colored woman
shrieked with pain, and before the bar
tender could get around the bar she was
enyel0ped in flames, one OF the visitors hav-
ing touched a match to the skirt of her
dress before leaving the saloon.
The NOmau'S OutcrieS ana appeals for
help soon brought a crowd, but assistance
was too late. Her body was charred nearly
all over. She was ut once taken TO the Pas
savant Hospital, but the doctors gave no
hope of her recovery and she died at 10
o'clock ut night A search for the men sus-
pected OF the crime was at once made and
the entire detective force of the citv put at
work, but there is no clew to their identity.
The saloon where the affair occurred is kept
by Sim Caro- on Market street. Caro- insists
that the men were not drunk and that the
act was one of sheer deviltry. He SAYS he
saw one of men stoOp to pick up a lighted
match near the old woman but did not real
iZe what had been done until his guests had
gone and he was warned by the cry of the
neeress.-ChcagO Herald.
