Small Fire at Ogden Re-

OGDEN, April "a few minutes

CURED in a little frame room at the
rear of the barber shop of Rollow &
Cliff, 2464 Grant avenue in which
Peter Oline was burned TO a crisp
The origin of the fire is not known
but 1t Is thought that it was caused
through the old gentleman leaving a
Kerosene lamp burning when he re-
tired. The building was made of Or
dinary lumber and was very dry and
infammable. The damage to the
building did not exceed $40 Fire
station No. l responded to the call,
and before the building was entirely
destroyed had the fire extinguished,
but not until Mr.. Oline, who was US
ing the place as sleeping apart
ment, had been cremated.
Two young men, Fred Watkins and
Thomas Ferguson. while on their way
home. noticed the blaze, and after
giving the fire alarm rushed to the
building in an effort TO extinguish
the fire. Upon reaching the burning
structure they were Mortified to see
the body of the old gentleman, Oline,
lying prone upon the floor of the
shack face downward, burning up in
the maddened flames. He was still
alive when the boys reached the
place, and they put forth strenuous
efforts to eXtrieate the man from his
terrible and heart rending position.
but to no avail The flames of the
fire were SO hot that they could not
reach the man with their hands with
out imperiling their lives. They tried
to draw the man from the flames with
saw horse that was near at hand
by placing the two legs of 1t under
his arms, but the body was so badly
burned and the clothing so complete
ly destroyed that they could not get
sufficient hold on his body to move
1t from its position in the fire.
Mr.. Oline was between 60 and 10
years of age, and so far as is known
by those acquainted with him has no
relatives in this country. He was a
carpenter by trade and had resided
in Ogden for a number of years. At
the time of his incineration he was
in the employ of the Turf saloon, on
Grant avenue, near the place of the
fire. He was of Scandinavian nativ-
ity. but nothing seems to be known of
his life prior to his coming here, and
none of his friends that were seen
last evening knew anything whatever
of his people.
