LIFE LOST IN BLAZE
Thomas Carney Meets Death as he
Endeavors to Extinguish Fire.

Thomas Carney, coal miner, aged
sixty-six years, was burned to. deatf
early Tuesday morning in a blaze
which destroyed a small coal shed al
his residence, No. s36 Seventh avenue
east. isut hin a ..as ia 81
b, Carney was endeavoring to extin
guish the flames. when he was over
come and fell. He could not be res
cued, Coroner Cheesman was called
to the scene and took charge OF the
remains.
The origin of the flames is a mys
terry. They were discovered by Mrs
Carney at about 5:45 o'clock. She
called to her husband who was eat
ing breakfast, and he rushed to the
burning coal shed where some house
hold goods were stored. He entered
the shed and the door closed behind
him. In his efforts to extinguish the
flames he knocked down a number OF
boxes which had been piled near the
door, and in falling they blocked all
chances for his escape. He cried fol
help and his summons were answered
by Frank and John Williams, who
used all means available to rescue
him. Carney pounded on the south
side Of the shed and directed the men
to break in the boards. After a few
seconds the boards were torn off but
Carney had gone to the north side OF
the shed where he fell unconscious
By this time the building was a mass
of flames and it was impossible to
rescue the unfortunate man.
The fire. department was called to
the scene, but the flames were beyond
their control when they arrived The
body was removed from the ruins by
the firemen and was taken to the
Cheesman undertaking establishment
The body is burned to q Grip and
beyond recognition. From present
indications Carney met his death by
accident. but the origin of the fire
will he investigated The family
states that there had been no fire near
the shed.
Carney has been a resident OF this
city for a number of years and was
we'll liked by every one who knew
him. He was a member of the United
Mine Workers of America and is sur.
yived by wife, five sons and three
daughters.
Funeral services Wednesday morn
ing at the st. Mary's church at nine
o'clock and interment made in the
Catholic cemetery.
Coroner Cheesman stated at moor
that he was convinced that Carney
met death by accident and therefore
he will not hold an inquest over the
body.

MADE LIFE MEMBERS
All Who Have Given $500 or More
to 0skaloosa Hospital.

At the adjourned annual meeting OF
the Oskaloosa Hospital Association,
held Monday evening, an important
change was made in the articles of
incorporation relating to member
ships When the association was or
ganized and the building erected it
was expected that annual subscrip-
lions would be necessary to keep the
institution going This had been the
history Of hospitals elsewhere. For
tunately, however, after the first two
years of operation the institution be-
came seli-sustaining, and only the
first guarantee fund of about $1,000
was necessary. The incorporation
provided that all who had given S25
or more to the hospital should be
members for five years, and those
paying $500 would be members for
one year. As the five years is now al
most up, and as regular subscriptions
have not been called for, there was
danger of all memberships expiring.

been decided that all who have given
$25 or more, or who may in future
give that amount shall be life men,
bers, and those who contribute $1.00
OR more shall be members for one
year.
