The saddest death. that of lit tie child, occurred in the saddest manner this morning when little Ina. the two and half year old daughter O. Mir. and Mrs. Eugene smith. was smothered and burned Co death tn their home on 18th Ave and state street, when their house was completely destroyed by flames
 When Mir. Smith left the house about seven o'clock this morning Mrs smith was in her room and the children were just awakening to sneir mornings play. lt was nearly eight o'clock when Everett, a little boy of four years, came to his moth or and told her that Ina had been Having with matches in the kitchen and that she had started a fire. Mrs. smith arose and discovered tn house filled with smoke, and be- coming half distracted at the dan ger which threatened her home, she rushed Co the residence of MT McEiuzie where an alarm was turn cd in to the fire department. In go- ing out, the boy had followed her, but the little girl had remained be- hind. When Mrs. Smith returned she broke 'n the window of the bed room and called to her little girl. In the meantime the firemen and others had gathered but the smoke was so dense that no one could en- ter the house to rescue the child. The firemen at once cut a hole in the side of the building over the bed and tried to reach the smother ing child, but she could not be found. A stream of water from the hose was turned into the room and as soon as possible a number of firemen, including MT. smith en- tered the room, and Herb Shearer discovered the baby under the bed. She was taken out and MT. Fried euthaI rushed her to the hospital, but too late, as the little one had perished The only burn found on her body was on one heel and part of her leg, and it is presumed that death came from suttocation. The house was completely gutted and is practically worthless, owing to the extent of the fire.
 It is the old story of children playing with matches, and 1t Is only through the indefinite prattling of the little boy that an estimate can be formed Of the origin of the fire. It IS probable that in lighting a

BABY GIRL PERISHES IN

match the baby burned her finger and threw it into the woodbox among scraps of paper and rubbish; when the fire started the boy ran to his mother to tell of the acci- dent, the little girl becoming frightened, sought the first pro lection that usually comes to child ren when danger threatens, and tried to hide under the bed, where death crept over her in it's cruelest manner.
 To lose their home is sad, but when to that is added the grief Of the loss of their baby, then sorrow becomes almost unbearable. To the grief stricken parents, the common heart of Skagway throbs in sym pathy.
 Announcement was made this at- teruoou that the child will be bur jed Friday afternoon, funeral ser vices to be held by Rev. Bacheller a 9 o'clock at the temporary resi- dence on 18th and State. The train will leave 18th street immediately after the funeral, for burial in the Skagway cemetery.
