Vaults High Board Fence.

Mrs. j. NJ Collins was the first to dis
cover Miss Griffiths' dangerous plight
She called 10 her husband. He in his
eagerness to help the suffering woman,
leaped over the high board fence separat-
ing his place from that of the Griffiths
and was quickly at Miss Griffiths' side
1t was necessary to tear off almost all
of Miss Griffiths' garments to extingush
the flames This Mr.. Collins did without
regard for mis- own danger. He was Joined
in this work by Mr.. Griffiths. the bro
Their, who is a former member of the
Salt Lake fire department. Mr.. Griffiths
brought rug. and a blanket from the
house. These he wrapped about his sis
teT's body and was at last successful in
smOthering the remaining fire in her gar
ments.
The flames had spread so rapidly that
when the reScuers reached Miss Griffiths
even her slippers were burning
DR.. Root and Evans were summoned
They found that Miss Griffiths was ter
ribly burned upon the breast. arms and
body After relieving her sufferings they
had her taken to the hospital
Kitchen in Flames.
When Miss Griffiths ran into the yard
after the explosion. the kitchen was IN
flames. Her brother, in going to her as
Sistance, was unable to turn his atten-
ton to the fire. In this emergency, while
Collins and Griffiths struggled to save the
life of the burning woman, the work of
fighting the fire was undertaken by Mrs.
Nellie Rance. a sister, and Miss Leona
Griffiths. a niece of Miss Griffiths. Their
plucky eXertions were successful in put
ting out the blaze.
BY the time the fire in Miss Griffiths'
garments was eXtinguished, a number of
women from the neighboring houses had
gathered to offer their assistance.
Mrs. Collins, Mrs. Wischer and several
other neighbors rolled the sufferer in
flour and took her into the house.
Mrs Griffiths, the mother, in speaking
of the accident last night said:
THE can of gasoline was given to us
by a friend who was leaving the city AMI
was kept near can of coal oil, which
we had used before the electric lights
were put into the house. Hattie got up
early in the morning to light the kitchen
fire. While I was dressing she came into
my room and remarked that the fire was
slow In burning. She must have decided
to use coal oil to make the fuel burn more
briskly and by mistake picked up the can
of gasoline,
1t is believed that the reason Miss Crit
fiths ran from the kitchen into the yard
was to avoid endangering the other MEM
bers of the family and her sisters chill
dren, who were in the house. AS the first
impulse would naturally have been to run
to her mother or brother for help, it is
that the heroic woman. unselfish
in her hour of suffering, chose to go from
the house alone and with uncertain pros
pect of help rather than risk the safety
of the other members of the family.

No Other Way Out.

There is a story often told to Illus
trate the manner in which President
Lincoln was besieged by commission
seekers. Hearing that a brigadier
general and his horse had been cap
tured and the general taken to Rich
mond, he asked eagerly about the
horse.
THE horse!" exclaimed his infor-
mant. ''You want to know about the
horse?"
Yes" said Lincoln Il can make
a brigadier any day, but the horse was
valuable"
To this John Russell Young, in his
memoirs, adds a similar tale. He was
calling upon Lincoln one day at the
White House.
Il met So and So on the steps," he
remarked.

just made his sen brigadier."

and dives, causing the sea to be great

that by plunging the oars into the surf
he endeavored to keep his antagonist
at bay.
But his efforts were only momentar-
lily successful. In a few seconds it had
reached within a few yards Of the
boat.

happened" he continued The fabby
