When asked il Ellis ever drank heav-
lily, Larson said that he did and that il
was about the only fault the old man
had.
He frequently got on a prolonged
spree. Larson continued, and wandered
about the house all night He would
carry a lighted lamp around the room or
a candle. and dig uD all kinds of old
manuscript on one occasion while
proving around the house in the night
he fell onto the stove and burned his
arm badly. 1t was several weeks before
the wound healed and he was able to use
his arm. Night after night he went TO
bed with lighted lamp beside him, and
lay there and read until morning A
number of times l found the old man
asleep and his light still burning when
] got up. This was a habit of his and
] expect that he had been drinking heav-
lily and probably fell asleep and either
turned the lamp over or it exploded set
ting fire TO his bed. 1 can see no other
theory to IT but this, and I have often
thought that he would burn his house up
or himself"
