Kentucky, that he was being robbed.
Fumes which filled the rooms were
sucked in through transoms and
doors of the building from a large
open burner in a saloon belonging to
Pat Collins, adjoining the Burnside
lodging house, by a steady draught.
Donaldson staggered into the hall
way and the people who saw him
armed fed for their lives and hurry
call was sent to the police. Other
rooms on that side of the house were
filed with the deadly fumes. Police
man John Goltz, who answered the
CALL aroused the people.
Ten lashes were laid upon the barred
