Thrilling Escapes.

Miss Mary Boyd, living next door,
was the first to see the fire. While
another neighbor rang in an alarm
Miss Boyd rushed into the burning
building and rang the bells in all
the suites.
Many were able to escape by the
stairways. Others used fire escapes
in the rear until flames made this
impossible. The fremen carried a
number of men and women down
ladders. Several persons jumped
from upper floors into the life nets.
Trapped on the fourth floor Mr..
and Mrs. Clement T. Rogers and
Mrs. Robert Adams hastily fashioned
a rope from bed clothing and let
themselves down to the ground.
No one had time to dress and there
was considerable suffering from ex-
posture. A state police investigation
was started.
