who lives in the 18th district,
was burned to death last Mon
day. For several years past, Miss
Watson has been a severe sufferer
from vertigo. While sitting in
front of the fire last Monday, she
succumbed to a terrible swimming
in the head, fell into the fire and
was so badly burned as to cause her
death. She was alone at the time
of the accident. Friends soon
reached her, but too late to render
assistance. Medical aid was sum-
moned but proved of no avail. She
died in great agony about twelve
hours after the accident.
