her room i'm College Hail. The girl was
fairly roasted alive, her entire body being
charred TO a crisp.
just how the sad accident occurred ma
one is able to say. Miss Nickers retired
to the bathroom, situated near her own
apartment. Half an hour later she came
rushing forth. enveloped in flames
screaming for help. Several of her fellow
students ran to her assistance and en-
deavored to beat out the flames, which
were gradually but surely consuming the
entire person of the young girl. Like d
flaming torch the unfortunate girl ran
about the hallway, while the frantic stu.
dents who had responded TO her cries for
help, threw shuwls wraps and blankets
over the burning girl i'm their efforts tO
smother the flames.
Medical assistance was promptly sum
moned, but when the physicians arrived
Miss Nickers was unconscious from the
terrible burns. The flames had been
beaten out, but not before the skin was
charrcd to a crisp.
The girl was taken to her room and
everything possible was done TO alleviate
her suffering. Miss Nickers fingered for
about five hours and died without regain
ing consciousness.
Miss Nickers was the daughter of John
Nickers, millionaire cattle ranchman, of
Tombstone. Arizona He was a Pennsyl-
vanian. having been born near Lionville.
