ed over the turn his affairs have taken

spirit him away in person. He even
engaged two private detectives to

The st. Paul mine. at Cherry, ILL.,.
in which $40 coal miners were en-
tombed by fire and explosion on Sat

The fire was gaining such Roadway

closed for several weeks.

rooms on the opposite side OF the
house. Nettie Boles, twenty-six years
old, a maid, had a room on the west
end of the house.
Mrs. Clark was awakened by a cry
and on going to the door Of her room
saw smoke issuing from the part of
the house where the congressman and
"Waddie," as the grandson was called,
slept.
Get me out of here!" she heard
Waddie cry.
Never mind, son; I'll save you, "
Congressman DeArmond answered.
Those were the last words either of
the victims uttered. A moment later
the smoke increased in volume and
Mrs. Clark was forced to fee down
stairs to the telephone. Within min
ute's time she had given the alarm to
the telephone Office and hurried back
to the room of her mother.
BY this time the entire second floor
was clouded with smoke and flames
were leaping from the windows. Crop
ing her way to Mrs. Diamonds bed
side, she literally dragged her from
the room. There was no time to think
of aiding those in the other part of
the house. Urging her mother down
the stairway, the younger woman, with
difficulty, succeeded in reaching and
opening the street door.
Nettie Boles, the maid, it developed
later, had been one of the first to es.
cape. She reached the street from the
rear door after the first cry Of fire.
She was unhurt, but too frightened
to comprehend the situation and had
fed from the scene.
The financial loss is placed at 800;
900, and included one of the best Ii
braries in the state. The cause OF
the fire is not known. The two bodies
were fund lying side by side.
