BURNS TO DEATH WHILE
FEEDING HER CHICKENS

WAYCRoSs, Ca. July 3O.-Mrs.
J. s. Baugh, widow Of the late J S.
Baugh. was fatally burned this NOR
ming at o'clock and died at $3.50 o.
clock. She had started a fire in the
kitchen stove, throwing the burning
match on the floor. The victim did
not know her clothes were on fire un-
til she went in the back yard to feed
the chickens.
The wind caused the fire to sperad
rapidly and before she was aware Of
her danger. her entire body was a
mass Of flames.
A peculiar incident with the ira
gedy is that Mrs. Baugh fell to the
ground on the exact spot where her
husband dropped dead three years
ago who also at the time was feed
ing chickens.

been there and the officers leave for

Frederick again asks Kitty for the
coin. She still refuses to give it to
him. He gets up to 60 to her, when
the photo he had taken from her
room drops to the floor near Kitty
She recognizes it and asks him
where he got it. He tells her and
puts in his pocket. She is surpris-
ed that he should want her photo
and starts to tell him so as Roleaux
rushes in and tells them that the
police are after them for the mys-
FERROUS murder in Kitty's room.
Frederick laughs. Roleaux asks
him to let Kitty out. but Frederick
refuses to do so.
Roleaux, hearing the officers en-
ter the house. gets the drop on
Frederick and makes him release
Kitty. He does so, and all are
about to leave when the police rush
in and arrest the three of them.
They are all taken to the hotel
where Sachio has been detained by
the clerk. Enroute to the hotel,
ROleaux succeeds in getting away
from the police and goes to Kitty's
room through a back entrance as
Kitty and Frederick are brought in
through the front entrance. The
clerk accuses Kitty because she
came from her room when they
had not seen her enter the hotel.
Therefore she must have dragged
the man in through the back en-
trance and killed him. Kitty laughs
at their ridiculous theory. and, in
turn. accuses Frederick. They are
all surprised and refuse to believe
it, when she tells them to look in
his pocket and they will find her
photo which he took from her room
They do so and the clerk enters
and tells of letting Frederick into
Kitty's room. The officers then ar
rest Frederick.

ing at the slip she gave her pursu-
ers, when she feels something near
her and, looking back, she sees
something move under the robes on

with her, and together they drive
back to Gretzhoffen.
In the meantime Michael has
sobered up bit, and, thinking of
Kitty, asks Frederick where she is.
Frederick says he thinks she has
returned to America, but Michael
insists something has happened to
her and sends Frederick to her
hotel to inquire for her.
Sachio and his accomplices ar
rive in Gretzhoffen and plan to get
Kitty in their power.
Frederick calls at Kitty's hotel
to inquire for her and is told by the
clerk that she has not returned.
Frederick phys him with so many
questions that the clerk says he will
let him see for himself, and takes
him up to her room While waiting
for Frederick to look around the
room, one of the maids at the hotel
calls the clerk and he goes, leaving
Frederick in the room. Frederick
looks around, smiles at a cute photo
of Kitty on her dresser. and then,
seeing the clerk is still busy. leaves
the hotel without the clerk seein ,

tells Roleaux toskhurry and dress
and they will make another try a,

they both leave the hotel and star
for Frederick's.
