WOMAN FATALLY. BURNED
THE RESULT OF KPHDsION OF A
COAL OIL STOVE.
Distressing Accidents whereby Mrs.
Nettie Coles Loses Her Life
Children Left MOtnerless.

Mrs Nettie Coles, twenty-six years ole, wife
OF j. Raymond Coles, aaeiegraph operator
was fatally burned by the explosion of an
Oil stove at her home, No. 1881 9th street
northwest, about Z O'clock hast night. She
died at Garfield Hospital, at $40 o'clock
this morning.
Less than month ago the Coles family
came here from Richmond, Va, the hus-
band having accepted a position with the
southern Railway Company. Rooms were
rented in the house of Mrs. Hamlip, on
9th street, where the fatal accident hap
pened. Yesterday new oil stove to be
used for heating the room was purchased.
and last night Mrs. Coles put In the oil
and applied a match, causing blaze on
the OUTSIDE OF the stove. Just what was
the trouble is not known, but 1t Is believed
that some of the oil had been spilled on
the surface of the heater
Mr.. Coles and the two little children were
in the sleeping room. while Mrs. Coles was
in the back room filling and lighting the
stove. When the match was applied a
mass OF flames resulted, and Mrs. Coles
called for her husbands help. Before he
could reach her she had picked up the
naming mass to throw it from the window,
evidently fearing the blaze would spread.
Mr.. Coles made an effort to assist his
wife and when her wrapper caught fire he en-
deavored to extinguish the flames, and in
wife, who was soon enveloped from head
to foot by the blaze, broke from him and
ran down stairs through the hallway.
finally reaching the street.
Policeman Martin Browne Of the eighth
precinct, and DR.. Mckenzie. both of whom
saw Mrs. Coles on the street, removed their
overcoats and succeeded in smothering the
flames, but not until Mrs. Coles had been
frightfully burned about her arms, legs
and body.
Drs Henderson and Fisher attended the
woman. She was unconscious when they
reached the house into which she had been
carried Three hours later the ambulance
from Garfield Hospital was summoned and
both Mr.. Coles and his wife were taken to
the hospital. The latter was still uncon-
scious and surgeons became satisfied that
her burns would prove fatal. They labored
on the case, however, until death claimed
her.
The mother of Mrs. Coles was informed
last night by wire Of the sad affair, and
she came here this morning, only to learn
of the death Of her daughter. The case
was reported to Coroner Nevitt who gave
a certificate of accidental death. 1t is
thought that the body will be sent to Rich
mond for interment.
Mrs Coles is survived by two children,
the younger being but five months old.
