of the employees went into the cell

feed in one hand and lighted candle

turkeys, husky gobbler, had escaped
from the coop and when the man with
the light appeared the bird became
frenzied and in the excitement kicked
the candle from the intruders hand IN :
to a pile of oakum, which instantly
filled the room with flames and smoke.
The man escaped, called out the fire

light brush, not heavy enough to fill
the burrows. In using the Cole dis
