Fire broke out in the upper part of
Archie McDougall's tenement house last
Friday afternoon and before it could be
extinguished considerable damage was
done. In short time after the fire was
discovered three streams of water We're
turned upon it but the fire could not be
gotten at very quickly and it was some
time before it could be put out. The
crowd that gathered succeeded in getting
out most of Mrs. ford S things which were
in the lower part of the house, but
Mr.. Jenkins belongings were many of
them burned and those which were saved
were nearly all badly damaged. The fire
started in a rcloset in the part
occupied by Mr.. and Mrs. Jenkins. The
caused more damage than the fire. Mr..
McDougall has some insurance on the house
but Mr.. Jenkins goods were uninsured.
AS very sad result of the fire in the
tenementabuilding the account |
Of which appears elsewhere, Mr.. Eugene
A. Jenkins, one of the occupants of the
house, lost his life. He had worked very
hard in helping to extinguish the fire, re-
moving his belongings, ETC., land his clothes
were very wet from sweat and water, when
he commenced feeling very cold and went I
up to FL. A. Folsom's rooms in Sewers /
block. Here he changed his clothing but /
still feeling chilly someone suggested that I
be have some spirits to take to warm him
up and Fred Connor was sent across the
street to the Ell. G. Pierce drug store to get
some liquor, letting it be known that he
wanted it to Grub on" Mr.. Jenkins who
was liable to take cold. The clerk, Charles
A. Currier, thoroughly capablesand con-
scientious young man, informed Mr.. Con-
nor that he could not sell clear liquor but
that he would give him something. He
-hor, n II g.
md added some aconite to it, and carefully
labeled it "Poison." In giving it to Mr..
Common he warned him not to drink any
IF it, telling him that it would kill anyone
who drank il. Somehow Mr.. Conner did
not seem to understand that he was hand
ing rank poison, and when he returned
20 Mr.. Folsom's neither he, Mr.. Folsom or
Mr.. Jenkins apparently realized that the
liquor was dangerous. A small quantity
If it was poured out and reduced with
water and Mr.. Jenkins drank it, He soon
lfter went out and went to a neighbours
where his wife had gone after the fire, but
of a peculiar feeling in
lis mouth and throat. AS this grew worse
lie started out to find what was the trouble,
md learning from Mr.. Currier what he had
aiken he went to DR.. Prime, who
It once accompanied him to the house
where he was stopping, land, understanding
he gravity of the case, commenced to re-
ieve him by means of antidotes and emet-
cs, but the system had bythis time, doubt
ess, absorbed the poison. DIR. Skinner was
'alled and the two doctors with the help
If others, did all possible to relieve the suf-
ering man, but nothing appeared to help
lim and death ended his miser1es a little
before 10 O'Clock in the evening. This is a
7erv' sad case in all of it's phases. The fire
