Dead Man Gets Up
and Strolls Away


Coroner Crosby was informed over the
telephone yesterday morning by County
Surveyor Mcbride In q trembling voice
that the body Of . dead man was lying
In the center Of the road at Forty ninth
and Center streets
When Coroner crosby's assistant ar
rived on the scene no trace could be
found Of the supposed dead man.
Whether Mcbride was seeing things or
the man was lying IN the road In a
drunken stupor and resained the use Of
his limbs before the coroner's assistant
arrived Is a problem to which Coroner
Crosby Is trying TO find the solution.
A visit to all the undertaking shops In
the city showed that no body answering
TO the description given by Mcbride had
been received.

ed to death early yesterday morning
when a pan of gasoline she was us
ing to clean a silk dress ignited,
catching fire to her clothing and
hair. Maintaining her presence OF
mind, she ran from the kitchen,
where the accident happened, into
the dining room and pushed the
table from OF large rug and wrap
ped herself in the rug, smothering
the flames. AS 1t was, she received
some painful burns about the body,

the friction caused In rubbing the
silk dress or by hot air from q fur
mace register, a. there was no fire
in the kitchen at the time. Mrs.
Hansen's injuries, while painful,
are not considered to be serious.

The Transit House, Stock Yards
Center in Chicago, Reduced
to Ruins in Fatal
Fire.
ONE PERSON BURNED TO DEATH
Fire Threatened Stock Yards for
Hours With General
Conaagration.
ONE PERSON BURNED TO DEATH

Chicago, Jan. 6.-The Transit
house at the Union stock yards, for
forty years one of the most widely
known hotels in the west, was re-
duced to ruins yesterday In a fire
which cost one life, for time trap
ped many persons and for hours
threatened the stock yards with a
general conflagration.
So rapidly did the flames sweep
through the building, five story
structure OF brick and wood, that
guests were forced to flee down fire
escapes and in many instances were
dragged from the burning building
by firemen.
Peter Richie of Algonquin, Ill.,, a
bell boy who worked nights, and
who was caught in his room asleep.
was the sole victim.
Scarcity OF water and the intense
cold hampered the firemen.
The loss to the building and con-
tents was estimated at $175,000,
and neighboring buildings suffered
damages OF approximately $4,000.
Thomas Upton. we'll known COM
mission man, with his wife sought
to go down the FIRE escape from their
rooms on the third floor, but the
two were so benumbed with the cold
that they were carried down ladders
by the firemen.
The Transit house was built forty
years ago. Before and after the
great fire 1t was a well known con-
vention headquarters and 1t has
since been the Chicago headquarters
OF practically every livestock man
who visited the city.
