chair manufacturer of this city, is dead
and Mrs. W. f. Caskey, wife OF a
prominent proprietor of a fashionable
restaurant here, is dying OF burns sus
tanned in a fire in the Caskey apart
ments.
Firemen rushing through the halls OF
the fiat early stumbled over the body
OF Curry, attired only in his under
clothing. !,
In another room they discovered
Mrs. Caskey nearly dead from burns.
On Curry's head was gaping wound,
made apparently by some sharp lnstru-
ment, and the upper part OF his body
was despatched with blood.
Curry was rushed to st. Joseph's
Hospital but died there shortly after
his arrival. Mrs. Caskey is in the
same institution and physicians say she
cannot recover, for her body is mass
Of burns.
William Caskey, aged q, son OF
the woman. is said to have discovered
the fire. According to the story he
told the police today, he was attending

while he was passing the apartments.
he discovered smoke and flames and
rushed upstairs to rescue any who
might be within. The heat and smoke
was too much for him and he sank ex-
hausted, he claimed.
The police say they put no credence
in this story, because it does not ex-
plain Why his outer clothing was not
burned, although bis body was badly
charred.
1t is alleged by the police that Curry
and young Caskey had bitter cncoun-
ter upon the iatter's arrival at the
house, but the boy himself stoutly de-
MES this.
Just how the fire originated no one
seems to know. 1t started IN the
kitchen, and iremen say that gas
tube on stove was broken in some
manner and All explosion resulted. The
loss from fire was very slight.
Curry was one Of the best known
manufacturers in this city. He was
about so years OF age. Mrs. Caskey IS
woman of unusual beauty. She is
also about 30. Besides her son, Will
