San Francisco, Jan. 3.-Unable to
sleep because of the intense cold that
prevailed in San Francisco last night,
Mrs. Anna Brooks. 80 years of age,
wrapped herself in a blanket and
seated herself in front of an open
crate. Sparks flying from the fire
ign1ted the blanket, and the aged
woman received burns from which 1t
is stated that she cannot recover.
1t was shortly before dawn that
Mrs. Brooks left her bed for the
warmth of the CRATE. 1t is believed
that she dropped into doze, from
which she was awakened to find her
self enveloped in a mass of flames.
Joseph Brooks. the aged woman's
son, who lives next door to the
refugee" cottage occupied by his
mother, heard her screams. Rushing
to her little home, he found her roll
ing on the floor a verltable ball of
fire.
Brooks beat out the flames, and
telephoned for help. He helped to
remove his mother to the Hahne-
mann Hospital, where, it was stated,
she has no chance to recover.

the actions of her husband, the dis

Both the Water Works and

Last night near IL o'clock the ma
chinery at the Salem water works
came to almost a sudden stop and
upon investigation by the night en-
gineer it was found that the water
wheel located at the end of the long
rope house adjacent to the Gile pack
ing house was completely clogged
by ice and was beginning to freeze
up sod. The wheel, which furnishes
power for the water works, was run
ming along as usual and it would
have been impossible for it to freeze
up, but the reaction of the water in
the mill creek east of the wheel dis
Td6gad several large pices of ice
which plowed into the wheel pit and
soon stopped the machine. The wat
er pressure through out the city at
an early hour this morning was down
very low due to the company's sup
ply in the reservoir being out while
the confiner is being cleaned, but
steam was soon at hand in the boil
ers after roaring fires had been start
ed. and the steam pumps started up
at full speed
This morning the Salem FIGURING
mills was compelle to shut down on
account of the flOhing ice in the
flume. The mills had been running
but short time when it was noticed
that the machinery began to slacken
speed. The mill men continued to
open up their turbine wheel until
it was open to its capacity, but ice
formed in the wheel pit and soon
shut off the power This delay is
unfortunate for the milling company

Estrada is said to be greatly en-
