'GHARRED BODY OF JAMES
MEANS WAS FOUND THIS
MORNING IN OLD HOTEL

went Immediately to his room, lock-
ing the door behind him. 1t is sup
posed that he had lighted the gas
fire and then went to sleep OH the
floor as his bed had not been occupi-
ed during the night. In some man
ner his body must have come into
contact with the blaze during the
plight which cnvelopedi his clothing
and then catching the furnishings OF
thn room, which resulted in the fire
in the building. Mr.. jenkins sad
that 1t had not been the habit Of
Means to light his gas fire as he al
ways said that lie was afraid Of gas.
How the tragedy really occurred
will probably forever remain an un-
solved mystery. The rag tied around
the mouth only makes the mystery
deeper. If he had been conscious
enough to see the fire and 10 take
this precaution of protecting his
lungs and breathing from the effect
of the smoke, as 1t is supposed he
did, why lie would not have extricat-
ed himself from the flames is not
known.
Means. who is about sixty years
old, has been living In Fairmont for
many years. and for about two years
ho has made his home at the Mcrri-
field Hotel. He is a painter by trade
and It was said that he was one of
the best In the city. He has been
heavy drinker, but for some time ht
has not drank any. 1t Is rumorcd
though, that he was drinking last
night when he went to his room. It
Is said that he went to Monongan
yesterday and while there became
intoxicated. returning and going
promptly to his room.
He is a married man but has not
been living with his family for
years. His wife has married agan
and his family. consisting of three
girls and two boys. all grown, is
scattered at present and none OF
them live in the city at this time.

tent 1t can be easily repaired and the

Coroner Frank Lloyd was called to
the scene of the tragedy and made
a careful investigation Of the corpse
and surroundings. He, deemed it

iENVEL0PED IN FLAMES HE i
BURNED ALMOST BEYOND
+, S RECOGNITION.
LIVES OF OCCUPANTS OF BUILD:
ING WERE SERIOUSLY 4
ID ENDANGERED.

Il The body Of James Means an old
resident painter was found at G
O'clock this morning. charrcd and
burned almost beyond recognition
enveloped In the flames of tho burn-
Ing Merrifield Hotel building in Wa
ter street in the first ward.
How the accident occurred which
took the life away from the man,
and endangered the lives of many
other occupants iof the building and
caused damage of several hundred
dollars to the owners of the build
ing is not known. Early riscrs
among the roomers OF the hotel were
alarmed at the smell of smoke in the
building and a search was begun to
reveal the location, resulting in John
Small finding the cause in Means
room. IA
The door OF the room was broken
open and the fire and dead body dis
covered. The. fire in a small gas
heating stoye;s was burning at full
height and Means was found on tho
floor, Ills body! touching the stove and
one hand completely burned OF was
laying IN the flames. A. rag. prob
ably hand dkerchief, was found tied
around his head completely covering
his mouth. The other hand was
near his face with scarcely u burn
on 1t. His body was also burned to
such an; extent that great care had
to be taken in picking 1t up. so as to
not break 1t completely into.
AS soon as the fire was discovered
an alarm was turned into the first
Ward fire department which quics-
lysresponded and afterward the Gen.
tral department was called to fight
the increasing flames. A quick run
j was made to the other side of the
riyerEand with the combined efforts
of the two departments the fire was
soon distinguished in the building
with three or four rooms on the third
floor badly damaged. The fire had
eaten Its way between the floor and
the ceiling and was very hard to
Bhandle for that reason. One side of
theSbuilding is also badly damaged
Mr. Ed. jenkins, the Manager Of
theillotel. said that Means had come
in last nighk about. 10 O'Clock and

for dividends. The company however
paid its regular SO dividend on the

ous years.
In view OF the decline In the net
revenues Of the companies in the

present year and as there are still
large expenditures TO be made in the
