Being Burned to Death.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Chicago, Jan. 31.-For four hours
early today Michael Roser, Go years
old, night watchman, lay bound and
gagged on the floor in a north side
department store where he had been
left by safe blowers and watched
smoke curling up from smoldering
blankets used by the thieves to deaden
the sound Of an explosion.
Fearful that he would be burned to
death, Roser made a frantic effort to
free himself when he saw, the blankets
blazing. He loosened q tie, which held
his arms and then removed the gag.
He telephoned an alarm first to the
fire department and then to the police.
When the f1remen arrived the interior
OF the building was in flames and the
structure and contents were destroyed
with a loss of $500
The safe blowers, four in number,
broke into the store shortly after
midnight and. according to Roser,
were only few minutes blowing open
the safe and escaping with $1,000.
