SHOCKING DEATH
Of Mrs. Hannah Buker, Friday
Night, at Gardiner.
Found Burned to a Crisp in Her
Lonely Apartments.
Cause Was Apparently Accidental, No
One Being Present.

Gardiner, Me, Dec. 25.-(SpeciaD.-
by burning accident that was shock
ing in the extreme, Mrs. Hannah Buker
losing her life.
Shortly before O'Clock, the fire whis-
tie was heard to sound alarm No. 45,
signifying a blaze in the neighborhood
of the New Mill
Mr.. Lashow was going up Oak street
and heard Il woman screaming in the
Wylie Buker house on that street. He
at once called a Mr.. Smith, who lives
in that neighborhood, and then notified
Charles Brann, who lives next house
to the Buker house.
An investigation was at once started,
but an entrance to the house could not
be made until a window was broken.
When this was done, mass of smoke
poured from the window, so thick that
one could not remain in the window.
The fire alarm was sounded and then
an entrance to the house through the
front door WaS made, and by this time
the smoke from the room had nearly
cleared through the open window, and
when the door to the front room was
opened, q CHASTITY sight greeted those
who entered.
In the corner of the room lay Mrs.
Hannah Bukcr, who was the sole occu-
pant of the house. Her position was
said to be with her head in the corner
next the door and the body extending
