Monterey. Mexico. last Saturday.
return to St. Louis to visit his family.
The telegram of Friday stated that both
he and his brother-in-law. Sidney A. Fair
child. also of st. Louis. were stricken
but that the latter was convalescing, while
Shaughnessy was not in a critical condf-
ton.
Last Thursday Mrs. Fairchild. who is
quarantined in San Antonio. received word
from Monterey that her husband and
brother were stricken with the fever. The
news almost prostrated her. She made
heroic efforts to get to them. but failed.
In order to reach her relatives. it was
necessary to pass the, quarantine lines It
was a meager chance. but she decided to
try it Accordingly she attempted to
board a train without baggage in order
not to be hampered. She was discovered
and compelled to remain at San Antonio.
Young Shaugnessy. who was st. Louis
High School graduate, left St. Louis two
years ago on Washington's birthday. He
went into the mining business with his
brother-in-law. Several weeks ago he
made preparations for an extended visit
home, intending to remain during the
Worlds Fair.
About four weeks ago. however. yellow
fever scares became prevalent in the vicin-
ity of Monterey. At the suggestion Of
shaughnessy. Mrs Sidney A. Fairchild.
the dead mans sister. left Mexico and
went to SAN Antonio. Tex. Letters were
exchanged frequently. until San Antonio
was quarantined. These letters until two
days prior to her brothers death. told that
both Shaughnessy and Fairchild were en-
joying good health. s.4
Being stricken with the yellow fever
was not the only misfortune that the two
men met with in the past fortnight. Both
Shaughnessy and Fairchild were caught
in the International Bank and Trust Com
pany failure. in which fugitive Council
man Kratz is reported to have had $4,000
on deposit.
Fairchild. on the day the bank closed.
bought two gold drafts to send to his
wife. An hour later the bank closed its
doors. When the certificates reached Mrs.
Fairchild, they were worthless. and she
was left penniless in a quarantined town.
Fortunately, she found friends, who as
sisted her.
Fairchild. according to his st. Louis
relatives. had $3.50 on deposit. Shaugh-
messy, it is believed, had a large sum on
deposit.
shaughnessy's relatives have tele-
graphed to Monterey to have the body
buried in the family lot of the Fairchilds
at that place. This was decided upon aft
er a consultation with the Mexican Con-
sui. who informed the bereaved relatives
that the body could not be removed from
Mexico until Ave years elapse.
The Fairchilds had son, Ronald, who
is buried at Monterey. and Shaughnessy is
to be buried at his side until both can be

dered that the firemen Of Rome be called.
This was done by telegraph.
The firemen arrived in about ten min
utes and although they brought four en-
gines With them and were at once ready
to begin operations. 1t took some time to
find the best way to get sufficient water
supply with which to fight the fire.
In the meantime the flames had begun
to break out of the windows of NJ. Marle's
apartment and were destroying the roof.
The flames lighted up the entire district
and gave the impression that nothing
could stop the fury.
When the fire engines began working
three rooms were already entirely de-
struyed by the flames. which were extend
ing to the other apartments. The Pope
withdrew as soon as he saw that every
thing possible was being done to fight the
fire.
Information had been sent to the italian
authorities. who hurried to st. Peters.
They were courteously invited to enter
and did 80. Therefore, for the first time
since the fall of the temporal power OF
the Vatican the Mayor of Rome. the Pre-
feet, police officials and even Signor Ron
chettit. the newly appointed Minister Of
Justice. entered the Vatican in their Of
f1cial capacities.
They gave orders. directing the work OF
combating the flames. and participated
personally in the fight.
It was a very difficult fire to overcome.
There were a number of old and infiam-
mable objects in the apartment of NJ.
Marie. and the wooden roof over this
room facilitated the passage of the flames
to the adjoining rooms. a!so full of COM
bustible materials.
The competition between the papal IRE
men and the firemen Of Rome. to see
which should work the harder and do the
most, resulted in display of courage
which was really admirable, some OF the
fire-fghters risking their lives until they
were restrained by their superiors.
At a little after IL o'clock the fire was
under control. but the work OF the nre-
men will continue for some time, ana II
is doubtful II they will leave the scene
before morning. Fresh relays of men are
being sent to relieve those whose efforts
have exhausted them.
The entire museum of inscriptions, the
rooms OF Father Ehrie, part of the library
and the printing houses. were entirely
Hooded with water. 1t Is impossible to
reach even an approximate idea Of the
extent of the. damage.
Many articles were saved. including some
ancient and very valuable arms. which
were recently moved to the library-room
from the Borgia apartment In order to
make room for the new residence Of the
Papal Secretary Of State. Many things
that escaped the flames were injured by
water, especially the precious private IL
brary Of Pope Leo. which Father Ehrle
had been rearrangfng in accordance with

Many daring rescues were made by the
