day following a bout Thursday night
with Jack Leon Of Bangor, in which
Dlmning was knocked out. He did not
recover consciousness. An autopsy viii
he held by Coroner George H. Mooers
OF Ashland, to determine the cause Of
death. Local followers Of boxing say
that Dunning was in poor condition and,
in their opinion should not have fought.
D,tnning always contended that with a
little more experience he could have
defeated johnson, when they met at
AIillinocltet, Sept. 3, 1906. He was
called upon to meet johnson on the
strength Of fstic prowess exhibited in
a numbering camp, and his fighting was
crude, but rugged enough to earn for
him the award of draw.
The blow which sent Dunning to the
floor Thursday night came after five
rounds Of fighting in which he showed
httle initiative. His opponent, Jack
Leon, forced the fighting all the time,
landing hard right swing to the jaw

thai the fire was started through the

Investigation Of the safe this fore

that robbers started the conhagration
Another reason to believe this theory
is the fact some people residing in the
vicinity thiifk they heard noise like
an explosion That was about o'clock
this morning. Mrs. George Harlow, a
neighbor, Is one OF those who heard the
sound, and it was Mrs Harlow who saw
the flames bursting out Of the Fowler

The alarm was given at once, and
the people rallied to fight the fire. There

ONE YEAR FOR RUNNING AWAY
Victor Welcome VIII Get Out When the
Snow Flies Again.

Burlington, Nov. 29 Victor We'll
come, tramp, was somewhat surprised
yesterday 10 city court when Judge
Mower sentenced him 70 serve not less
than one year nor more than a year and
a half in states prison for running away
from the county jail while outside the
institution working as trusty.
Welcome Was gathered in by the po-
lice on October p and was sentenced
by Judge Mower at that time TO serve
So days in Jail The same day Deputy
Sheriff Todd sent him outside to work
aud he walked away. He was found
in Shelburue the same night and re-
turned to jail.
Deputy Sheriff Todd did not tell him
that the oifense WAS a serious one and
allowed him to serve out his sentence,
which expired Tuesday night Then he
was arrested on the warrant charging
him with breaking jail Although the
prisoner did not "break out Of the Jail"
in the literal sense OF the word, his
walking away makes him liable to Il

d suspicion that Welcome wanted a
warm place to spend the winter and
perhaps expected longer sentence in

BUILDING OCCUPIED
BY $50, MOSTLY GIRLS
Made Frantic by the Flames,
Many Of the Trapped Girls
Jumped From High Win
dOWS - Many Employees
Missing.

Newark, n j., Nov. 26- Eighteen peo-
pie, most Of them girls employed in the
factory, persisted in fire in the plant
of the Newark Paper Box company to-
day, according to the latest estimates,
Besides that, great many were injured.
1t was the greatest conhagration in
years, and the scenes connected with
it were terrible
When the flames broke out, the girls
In the factory became franticl and, rush
ing to the windows, jumped blindly
toward the ground, some Of them from
the third and fourth stories of the struc-
ture. The fremen couldn't enter the
building to save the inmates because Of
the wall Of flames which met them, ana
the flames were so fierce that they
burned the ladders just as soon as they
were erected Life-nets were brought
into use at once, and they proved to be
valuable in saving the lives of many
who took time enough to look where
they were jumping.
Brayely facing the danger, three
priests from st. Patriells church fought
their way into the flames and ministered
to the dying granting them absolution.
The priests were in grave danger, and
they narrowly escaped destruction with
the victims they went to comfort.
Many of the occupants Of the build
ing were killed outright in jumping to
the ground, while others are missing,
and it is supposed that they perished
in the flames. The street in the vicinity
was piled with the dead and mortally
injured, shortly after the firemen
reached the scene. There were $50 peo-
pie employed in the factory, and many
of them have not been accounted for at
the present time.
The third floor Of the building was
occupied by the Wolf company, manu-
facturers of under clothing. It was Oh
this floor that the fire started, from the
explosion OF a lamp. The box factory
occupied the lower floors of the build
ing.
The structure was old and unsanitary.
The floors were dirty and soiled and
soaked with oil The stairs were wind.
ing and of fimsy construction. The fire
at once turned the place into a deathr
trap The place was a complete wreck
in twenty minutes after the alarm was
sounded. The bodies which have been
recovered from the ruins were taken to
the morgue They are horribly burned
and charred and cannot be identified.
