BY WOMAN FATAL
Mrs. 4. 4. Miller. Victim Of Accident
In Her Home, Succumbs at
st. Anthony's Hospital.
FIRE IGNITES HER CLOTHING
Her Baby Escapes Iniury-Husband
and Family of Six Left-Are in
Destitute Circumstances.

Mrs. A. A. Miller, 527 Thirty eighth
street, died at 11:45 last night at St
Anthony's hospital from injuries suf-
fered when she was burned in an acct
dent at her home late yesterday after
noon. Not an inch Of the skin on her
body escaped the flames and in places
the flesh was burned to the bone.
The remains were removed 10 Knox's
undertaking parlors. Coroner r. c. j.
Meyer was notified of her death and
an inquest is being held at the Knox
parlors this afternoon.
Mrs. Miller's efforts to keep her and
her 3-weeks-old son warm cost her her
life She was sitting near an old
fashioned fireplace containing an open
CRATE fire wrapped in a blanket. The
blanket caught fire and before she no
ticed the danger her fimsy dress had
become ignited. She showed rare pres
ence of mind by throwing the baby
out of reach of the flames and then
rolled on the floor.
Her son Charles. aged g. noticing her
plight and hearing her screams, rush
ed out TO the neighbOrs and spread
the alarm. Mrs. Clara Madison. resid-
ing at 523 Thirty-eighth street, heard
the boys cries. She ran into the home
and found the woman lying on a
straw tick writhing in pain. The mat
tress was in flames and it was only
after strenuous efforts on the part of
rescuers that the home was saved from
destruction. Mrs. Madison smothered
the flames with carpets.
Some time elapsed before medical
aid arrived and in the meantime the
neighbors did their best to alleviate
the Woman's sufieringS. Later she was
removed to ST Anthony's hospital. Her
husband had left for down town few
minutes before the accident occurred
and she was alone with her youngest
children at the time.
The plight of the Miller family has
aroused the sympathy Of the entire
