were not wealthy, and in order to make the
burden of living lighter they took board
er young man. They lived happily to-
gether for some time and prospered. Now
all is woe in the once happy little home.
James Dowdell has been sick for some
time and confined to his bed, and Mrs.
Dowdell has been obliged to arise early
every morning. fix the fire and get break
fast for their boarder. II was while she
was engaged in this task yesterday that
she met with the injuries which caused her
death. Slipping on a wrapper Mrs. Dow
dell went TO the kitcher to prepare break
fast
In some way yet to be explained the fire
in the range leaped out and ignited her
wrapper. The sight Of me flames terrified
the woman and she ru1hed about crying
for help. The boarder heard her cries
and rushed quickly downstairs to her as
sistance. He found her enveloped in flames
from head TO foot, and she was running
around wildly. After an effort he caught
the unfortunate woman and wrapped her
up in piece of rag carpet which he tore
hastily from the floor
In few minutes the flames were eXtin-
guished, but Mrs. Dowdell had become un-
conscious. She was hurried TO the German
Hospital where everything that could be

entire loss. The building and stock are in

upset iii turning the corner of Tenth Street

so slippery that the wagon spun around
