MRS. WILCOX IS
BURNED TO DEATH
In GREENBRIER VICINITY
CLOTHING IGNITED FROM RED.
HOT STOVE-HOUSE AND
CONTENTS DESTROYED.

A horrible tragedy happened near
Greenbrier yesterday morning. Mrs
Audrey Wilcox, wife of Jesse Wilcox,
was alone in her home when her cloth
ing ignited from a red-hot stove. She
tried to put out the fire in the house,
and failing in this, with rare presence
of mind, she ran out in the yard and
rolled in the snow to smother the
fame, but was so terribly burned that
death resulted in few hours. She
was found by the mail carrier, who
gave the alarm and kind neighbors
were soon summoned to her. The in
jured woman asked to be carried to
the home of her father, Edward Law
renee. She was placed on a cot and
carried there, where death soon re-
leased her from her awful sufferings
The burial will be at Spring Hill cem-
etery this afternoon
Mrs. Wilcox was % years of age
and had been married only one year
She was splendid young woman who
numbered her friends by scores, and
much sympathy is felt for her hus-
band and relatives over her tragic and
untimely death. AS the neighbors
were carrying Mrs. Wilcox to her
fathers home, they looked back and
saw that the Wilcox home was in
flames, and later found the house and
contents were entirely consumed by
fire.

RECENTLY PARD0NED
CONVICT SPEAKS
LAUDS GOVERNOR DONAGHEY
AND SPEAKS ON LIVING
HE'LL IN ARKANSAS"

one of the 365 convicts recently par
doned by Governor Geo. W. Donaghey
is in the city and gave public lecture
on the street yesterday afternoon at
the corner of Main street and Hun
tington avenue. He had with him his
pardon signed by the governor, and
stated it was granted on the condition
that he conduct himselfas a good cit
fzen, otherwise to return and serve
but his full sentence.
He was sent up from Crawford
county on charge of burglary and
grand larceny for four years, and had
served about Is months. The convict
took for his subject, "A Living He'll
in Arkansas"
He lauded Governor Donaghey to
the skies and said if the people of Ar
kansas understood the conditions as
they really existed in these convict
camps, every one would be for the
governor rather than censure him. He
says the life of convict is simply
awful in these camps, many times the
unfortunate fellows are whipped un-
mercifully by the inhuman guards.
Clark says he is making his way to
Kansas City, where his father is an
engineer on the Missouri Pacific rail
road, and that he means to lead diff
ferent life.
