BOOZE PARTY ENDS
WHEN TWO MEN ARE
BURNED TO DEATH
Odor Of Charred Flesh Leads to
Discovery of Derelicts Beneath
Burning Shack
WERE ON ALL NIGHT PARTY
Imprisoned in Ramshackle Hut
When Stove Fell Over, Setting
Place Afire
WERE ON ALL NIGHT PARTY

An order of burning flesh led
James Dunlap of Lochiel to a grue-
some discovery early this morning.
Beneath the ruins of an old shack
near the Elliott Fisher plant he found
the charred remains of James jack
son, aged 60 years; and John Dona-
van, alias Connors. aged SO years.
The men. old puddlers, had been lit
orally cooked to death after upsetting
q stove.
1t is the belief that during a drink
ing party, last night, one of the men
upset the stove. There were only
beds of straw in the shack. which
was built of old lumber and sheet iron.
When the stove tumbled over, the
shack tumbled down.
The men were imprisoned beneath
the ruins. The position of the stove
and charred remains indicated that the
men had made struggle for liberty.
only the trunk of Donovan's body was
found. 1t was a mass of roasted flesh.
JacksonS body was burned to crisp.
Dunlap notified Coroner Eckinger,
the charred remains in charge of Un-
dertaker III. Wilt of Steelton.
Sold Shoe Strings
Both men have been residents of I.o-
chiel for many years. When the old
Lochiel iron works was abandoned
they found little to do, and gathered
money in various ways. jackson sold
shoe strings, soap and empty bottles.
Donovan picked up odd jobs The
money they earned, it is said, went
for drink.
The only relative of jackson. is a
brother, who resides at Lochiel. lie
had not seen his brother after 6
O'Clock last evening. according to the
Coroner The brother is of the opin-
ion that either Jackson or Don
ovan rolled against the old stove and
upset it. That the stove set fire to
the straw. and when the roof of the
shack fell In, the men could not get
out.
The charred bodies were this afters

London, April rs. 1929 u. M.-Gcr-
man aeroplanes this afternoon were
dropping bombs in Kent, within 30
miles of London.
The machines first made their APP
pearance over Hernebay, to the east of
Canterbury and about fifty miles from
London. Within few minutes they
were reported over Canterbury, closer
10 the capital. and very shortly after
ward they appeared over FaVorsham
and then over Sitttnbourne, not moro
that thirty miles away, dropping
bombs OH each town.
This was the third German attack on
the eastern counties of England in
the last SO hours. The two previous
attacks were made at night by Zeppc-
lin airShips This raid was carried
out by aeroplanes. Aerial onslaughts
have, howcN er. not been limited TO the
Germans French official reports
claim successful bombardment from
the sky of the Imperial German head
quarters in retaliation for Zeppelin
assault on Nancy.
A German wireless report credits to
Swiss newspaper the statement that
French airmen have dropped bombs
on several German towns unprotected
by antiaircraft guns.
London no longer consider itself i'm
mune from air raiders of the Zeppelin
type. It Is realized also that even
aeroplanes could lombard the city.
Zeppelins, on their recent night raids
have travelled further from their CuX-
haven base than the distance from
Cuxhaven to London. and aeroplanes
miles from the capital and choosing
their own course have brought a new
conception of the effective range of
It's type of machine.
Nevertheless. the public is skeptiCal
of the powers for harm of Zeppelins,
the tritiing damage done during the
night raids being cited in Justification
of this feeling. 1t would appear that
the latest air raiders have use bombs
of an incendiary rather than an eX-
plosive character.
