ANOTHER DEATH
FROM GASOL LINE
Miss Petra Jacobson. SevereI,
Burned at Hotel Home
Filling Gasoline Stove Tank From an Open
Pitcher the Rescue Landlord Stevens 81
Va. Also Slightly Burned.

Miss Petra Jacobson, Of Hotel Home,
died at the hospital Tuesday night at
nine o'clock as the result of a severe
burning from gasoline about four o'clock
the day previous.
She was filling the tank of a lighted
gasoline stove in the laundry room of
the hotel when the accident occurred.
She had drawn the gasoline in a pitcher
and was pouring it when the oil ignited,
and soon she was mass of flames.
Landlord Stevens came to the rescue
and carried the unfortunate girl out
doors. The clothes were almost burned
from her before the fire could be extin-
guished. Notwithstanding the severe
burns she was able to walk unaided to
her room upstairs. She was moved
with all possible haste to the hospital
and was again able to walk from the
bus into the building. She had strong
constitution, and bore up well, but all
that medical skill and the help of loving
hands could not save her.
Miss jacobson was chambermaid at the
hotel, but was doing laundry work that
day in the absence of the laundrymaid.
She was niece of .Nels johnson of
Oakes and has sister living near Por-
tai, this state. She was about thirty
years Of age.
The funeral will be held this after
noon at two o'clock, Rev. Kleveland
having charge Of the services, which
will be held in the Scandinavian church.
Landlord Stevens received slight
burns on the inside of the hands in ex-
tinguishing the flames. He is laid up
temporarily, but will come out all right.

When bids were opened yesterday in
the Department OF Water Supply, Gas and
Electricity for furnishing 100 hydants
for the high pressure fire service mains
which ere to be installed in the business
sections of the city below Twenty third
street IL was found that John Fox. president
Of the Democratic Club, was tho lowest
bidder II the sample hydrant which
accompanied his bid stands the tests which
the specifications call for the contract will
undoubtedly go to him.
The Bidders for the MIGRANTS we're the
Camden Iron Works. A, p, Smith, the Lud-
low Valve Company and John FoS. The
bids ranged from SIS to sos a hydrant. If
Mt Fox gets the award at SIS the contract
will amount 10 SIS, 800. Mr.. Fox is in the
business Of making water mains aud pipes
and has an Office at 253 Broadway. So
far as could be learned last night he has
never had a city contract.
The opening OF the bids yesterday was
a formaity, because Commissioner Oakley,
who was burying his wife, was unable to
be present Before there can be an award
the sample hydrants must be tested, task
that will take several weeks to finish and
TO have a report made upon by the engineers
of the department. II is expected that bids
for the laying Of the mains will be adver-
tiscd for next week.

benefit, Mayor McClellans water bill will

Yesterday that the ordinance recently

fine OF $3.50 or three months imprisonment

offence a ulisdemeanor over which Mags-

was sentenced to three months by Magis-
trate Moss on March ?. John Palmieri
sued out writ OF habeas corpus, which
Justice Bowling sustained, ordering the
defendants release. Assistant District At

merely made the carrying of concealed
weapons a minor offence and not mis-
demeanor.
