HEROIC MOTHER
SAVES HER BABE
Mrs. Peter AffenbeTg May Lose
Her Life as Result of
Burning.
BOTH ENVEL0PED IN FIRE
CLOTHING IGNITEs WHILE MAX.
ING FIRE IN STOVE.

In an effort to save her 5-nIonths-old
sirl baby from death by fire for which
she herself was unWittingly responsible.
Mrs. Peter Affenberg Of $3.50 South Ninth
East street suffered injuries that may
cause her death. The child also was Sc
| riously burned and. with its mother, is
| under the care Of Dr. n. R Stewart al
the family home
Mrs. Affenberg is the wife Of a carpet
layer employed by the r. w. Madsen Fur
niture company. She was in the kitchen
of her home at about II O'Clock yester-
| day forenoon, preparing 70 boil some milk
| for her infant daughter
Holding the baby in her left arm. she
placed the pail on an oil stove and with
a match in her right hand was i'm the
act of lighting the burner when she de
teCted an Odor Of burning She looked
chemise aflame.
Of such fiimy material, it was an easy
prey for even the smallest blaze and
in an instant the child seemed a mass
OF fire Mrs AffenbeTg's waist also was
Of light material and, with the baby in
her arms, doing her utmost to quench
the blaze, she, too. was soon aflsme.
NeighbOrs rushed into the kitchen in
response to the frantic mothers screams
Never once did Mrs. Affenberg relinquish
her baby. but fought with desperation
to save her insensibie to her own peril
Her see ming disregard of her fate while
trying to rescue her baby may cost her
her life. After neighbors had lent their
aid in eXtinguishing the fire the mother
was found to be the more seriously in
jured of the two. The flesh on her face,
hands and arms, and the upper part OF
her body, was almost cooked, while the
infant was burned only in spots. Little
hope was expressed Of saving the mother,
though everything possible is being done
for both.

UNION MEN At MEETING
Fl. E. Granger Leaves for
Indianapolis to Tell the
Solons a Few.

A meeting of Hammond union men
was held in the Lake superior court
room last evening for the purpose of
protesting against the action of Will
liam H. Kliver, E. W. wickey and A.
]. Bowser in opposing Hammond in it's
fight for additional court facilities.
Resolutions were adopted which
stated plainly that the union men of
Hammond were opposed to the building
of additional courthouses in Lake
county when there are already two
here.
The extravaganza Of it all was men
toned and Messrs. Wickey and Kliver
were given to understand that their
course was not approved by the major
ity of the union men of Lake county
Business Agent II. e. Granger Of
the Lake County Trades and Labor
Council was sent to Indianapolis to give
the solons there to understand that
union labor In Lake county is not
unanimous in it's approval of Gary's
claims.
The meeting was composed of the
various crafts and trades in Hammond
and gave expression to Hammond's de-
sires for additional court facilities in a
manner that would be the least ex-
pense to the taxpayers.
