LEFT TOO NEAR FIRE

CHICAGO, Jan. s.-Wrapped in a

kitchen stove, little, fiaxen-haired,
two-yearold Jewell Bernaur, daugh-
ter OF Mr.. and Mrs. w. j. Bernaur OF
No. 1899 Lake-st. west, was found by
her mother burned to death when the
latter returned after an absence OF
less than 10 minutes, yesterday morn
ing.
II Is supposed that corner OF the
blanket caught fire from the stove,
and that the flames were thus carried
to the child's clothing and to the
chair in which she was seated. as
these articles were almost entirely
destroyed
Bernaur, who is a butcher and con-
ducts a meat market under his fat,
told in broken voice the story OF
his misfortune.

ped out for l/oment TO buy some
thing at the bakery When she re-
turned she discovered the fire at once
and screamed TO me for help.
II was in the shop below and before
/ could reach the kitchen IL was too
late and my poor baby was dead. We
put the fire out WITHOUT assfstanCe
and then carried the chair with the
body in 1t 70 the porch.
I'VE hoped the cold air would do
some good. but all the time | knew
better, and that she was gone for
ever. She was my only child and
the one thing ! cared for in all the
world" he sobbed, land now that
she's dead | don't care what hap
pens.
"If could hate made a fight for
her life IL would not seem so terrible,
but to have her taken before ! could
lift hand is more than | can stand.
The body was removed to Costello's
undertaking rooms.

girl, who had been playing near the
