had charge of the office "wannigan"
and slept there nights. Friday night
he was alone, Saturday morning the
cookee built a fire in the Office as
usual, John was awake but dropped
to sleep again. In some unaccount-
able way the room took fire, possibly
by the explosion of lamp for the
progress of the flames was very rapid
and when discovered by the team
sters the room was all ablaze BY the
use of water they were able to de aden
the fire enough to 60 in and get Mr..

being so deep that the nerve centers
were paralyzed and he talked with
