Stricken with heart disease while en-
deavoring to escape from his burning
dwelling, John Henderson of River
Bend, Fairfax county. was fatally
burned when the confiagration con-
sumed the house Thursday night. The
attack was brought on, ii is thought,
by Mr.. Henderson's efforts to save
furniture from the flames
Assistance was somewhat slow in
arriving. and the fire gained such head
way that it was impossible to remove
Mr. Henderson from the building be-
fore his life was extinct.

instantly killed Friday night by troll
