Fate on Monday.

of Mr.. and Mrs. Patrick Lally of Peck
Vile. was burned so badly on Monday
morning by her clothes igniting that

was playing around a fire in the road
way when her dress suddenly caught
fire. The little one attempted TO tear
off her burning dress and in doing so
terribly burned her arms and hands,
Her screams attracted the attention
of neighbors and bucket of water was
thrown on her. quenching the blaze.
Her body had been badly burned,
however, and though DR.. j. b. Sickler,
who attended her, tried every means

DEMANDED THEIR SALARIES.
Patrolmen Davies and Hockenberry
Visited the City Controller.

Patrolmen Davies and Hockenberry,
backed up by City Solicitor Vosburg's
opinion regarding their salaries, turned
up at city hall yesterday AFTERNOON
and demanded their salaries.
The only point which troubled city
Controller Howell was the fact that
the case stated between ex-Patrolman
James Saul and the city had not yet
been argued and no judicial opinion
EXPRESSED on IL. In this case Saul Is
suing the city for salary covering the
same period as that now demanded by
Patrolmen Davies and Hockenberry.
Obviously if Saul gets a decision in
his favor and the city had already
paid Davies and Hockenberry it would
be obliged to pay the same amount
TWICE.
city Solicitor Vosburg was consulted
and he suggested that the officers fur
nish indemnifying bonds for the
amount of their salary, thus insuring
the city against any loss. new ones tp
be furnished each month until an opin-
ion in the other case is handed down.
This plan was agreeable to the con
troller and to the officers and the lat
ter left to find bondsmen and will prob
ably get their pay today.
