killed outright in trying TO escape along
n narrow cornice and two other women
were seriously injured. The house -

of escape for those ON the top floor was
by the stairway, but the flames pre-
vented descent I'm this way. Robert
Emmett and his wife occupied an attic
room. After telling her TO follow him,
Emmett crawled out on narrow cor
nice and began making his way TO an
adjoining roof, which he reached in
safety.
Mrs. Emmett began the journey but
the cornice offered an insecure footing
and half of the distance had been trav-
ersed when she pitched headlong TO the
sidewalk. She was killed by the fall.
Then William Sullivan and his 1S-year-
old wife May, were seen at a third-story
window and the former threw out n
blanket. Willing hands grasped IL and
Mrs. Sullivan jumped and landed in tho
blanket. The force was too great and
the woman struck the ground and re-
ceived severe internal injuries and con-
tusions of the back from which she died
later in the day. Mrs. O'Leary, who oc
cupied a second-story room, dropped To
the sidewalk. Her fall was broken by
a man who attempted TO catch her, but
she was severely cut and bruised Sulli-
van made his escape by climbing TO the
roof through a trap door and passing
down through an adjoining house.

Riley pulled his revolver. Allen said he
was unarmed, and the two repaired to
Hooton's hardware establishment in
search OF weapon for Allen. They
were finally separated before any blood
was shed.
Monday morning Riley was on the
streets early, and was loud in his claims
that he was after Allen. Riley was just
coming out OF the post Office room when
Allen drove up In his carriage, alighted
and passed in. After getting his mail
he started to leave the post office, when
Riley accosted him with drawn weapon.
Like flash Allen drew his pistol and
the firing began. Riley fired two shots
and Allen four. When the smoke
cleared away Riley was lying In the
post Office door, and Aliens son, who
witnessed the ARRAY from his fathers
carriage, had received n severe wound
In the right side. Allen was arrested

and influential. Riley has cut a prom
inent figure in democratic politics for
