Saves His Mother-in-T aw
From Burning to Death

Mrs. Josephine Hensen of 172 More
house street was saved from being
burned to death when an oil stove
was accidentally overturned in her
house, last night, by the bravery OF
Godfrey Kohler, her son-in-law, who
rushed to her and smothered the
flames, not needing the severe burns
he himself sustained in doing so.
When the oil stove was overturned
Mrs. Hensen's dress caught fire and
in a twinkling she was enveloped in
sheet of flame and would have per-
ished but for the prompt and courag
eous assistance of her son-in-law. The
ambulance corps was summoned ant-
the burns of Mrs Fensen and her son
in-law were dressed, and carron OF,
applied.
