Burned to Death!

Barney Hutton, Il coal miner,
who lived in shanty about a mile
north of Nelsonville, on section 10,
Ward township, was burned up in
his house, which by some means
took fire Wednesday night about 8
o'clock. 1t is not known how it oc.
CURED. He had been to one of the
nearest neighbors just about one
half hour before the fire was noti-
ced, to get some tomato plants. He
told the neighbor that he had a
pot of beans on the stove cooking
and that he must go and look after
it. When the neighbors reached
the place the roof was already fall
ing in and they soon saw that he
had perished in the flames. A man
named Thos. Parry was "shantying'
with him, but he was at Nelson
vile that night. The head, arms
and legs were entirely consumed,
nothing being left but a portion of
the trunk. Hutton was 63 years
old, born in Ireland, and was we'll
known in the mining localities of
the Valley.

sentiments of all present by the
beautiful lines of "Tom" Moore:
"Long, long be my heart by such memories
