FATAL ACCIDENT.


The quiet little village of Blooming
ton was precipitaied into an unusual
excitement Thursday over the tragic
manner in which VIM Angove, saloon
keeper, and for several years an innabi-
tsnt of the place. not his death, while
attempting to burn little spot of kere-
osene off the floor of the sample room.
The particulars as we get them from
one who was among those to lend assis-
lance in putting out the fire, are as fol-
lows:
At about 1880 p. m. Messrs Apgove,
Hickok and Garthwaite, were in the
saloon preparing to 90 home, when
ADgove noticed the oil on the floor. Ii
had come from large oil can that was
standing in a corner of the room, and
had formed little pool under the bill
lard table in the centre of the room.
Angove suggested touching a match to
it and would have done so but was pre-
vented Dy Hickok his partner, who was
afraid that the fire might spead and
burn the building. Shortly afterwards
Hickok and Garthwsite left for home,
and Angove concluded to burn the oil
off of the floor. Suiting action to
thought he touched a match to the oil
and was Immediately enyeloped in a
large blaze. Taking off his oyercoat he
attempted to whip the fire out with it,
but only succeeded in spreading and
adding new yigor to the flames, which
were soon burning in every direction.
The gas from the oil exploded and blew
out the front of the saloon.
BY this time Angove had given up all
hope of putting out the fire and started
for the money drawer. The flames
reached that part of the room at about
the same time that be did and exploded
two lamps, throwing burning oil over
him. Seeing that he could save moth
ing he Immediately thought OF escaping
and ran back through the flames and
out of doors where he rolled in the snow
and succeeded in putting out his burn
ing clothes.
Medical assistance was Immediately
summoned for the suffering man, but
he was too far gone apd all that could
possibly be done by those who attended
him was to alleviate his great suffering.
At 1890 Friday, he expired, having
lived Just IS hours sufferingl untold
agony.
The fire was finally put out after
desperate effort, and the building saved,
but not until it had been considerably
damaged. The interior OF the room in
which the accident happened is chared
black in every place, and considerable
of the stock, cigars etc, were burned.
The remains of the unfortunate man
were taken to Dodgeville for burial
Monday, and were escorted by large
number of his Bloomington friends. A
few from this CITY also went up on the
morning train to pay their last tribute
of respect to the dead.
Mr.. Angove's tragic death is mourned
by dutlful and loving wife, who has
the heartfelt sympathy of the entire
community.
