DEATH Hoping that there was still spark
OF life in the little body Mrs. Manuel grab
bed the little daughter, pressed her close
to her breast and tried to smother what
was left of the fire. The mother received
painful burns. Her grief was so over
towering that she tainted and had to be
cared for by her neighbors.
A few minutes before the fatal accident
occurred the mother of the child went to
call upon some neighbors at 327 "a Lean

the Kitchen stove, near which his baby
sister had been made comfortable upon an
improvised bed. 1t Is explained that the
children lighted pieces of paper and ran
through the room with them, and one piece
burned so close to Wfllies hand that he
dropped it.
1t was this piece of lighted paper that
fell upon the baby's bed and ignited the
clothing. The little one was, of course,
helpless. and the older ones were unable to
extinguish the blaze. They began to
scream, but no one came to their assistance
in time to save the life of the baby A
number Of the neighbors and several per-
sons who were passing at the time were
attracted to the house, and they did what
little they could for the grief-stricken and
painfully burned woman. The father of
the child did not learn of the horrible oc-
currence until he reached home later in the
evening.
Those who responded to the cries of the
children had the ambulance summoned
from the Emergency Hospital, but by the
time the vehicle reached the house phys1-
clan who had been summoned pronounced
the baby dead. The mothers burns were
dressed at her home.
