His Wife i'm Flames,

wife the other morning at o'clock. He
arose and went 90 field TO cut corn, leav-

returned to the house and found the water
closet in flames and his wife burned TO
death. When first discovered in the
burning building she was sitting on the
floor with her feet straight out in front. her
body and head leaning back against the
seat behind her and her arms folded across
her breast in an attitude of peaceful repOse.
Her position indicated that she must have
been wholly insensible and suffered no
agony from the torture OF the flameS.
After Mr.. Parr left the house she evidently
went to the kictchen and lit the gas in the
cook stove. as it WAS found burning later.
1t is thought possible that she may have
accidentally fired her clothing at that time.
The remains were burned beyond recOgnl-
