AGED PHINEAS CURTIS
| BURNED IN HOME
AT WASHINGTON, NE.

Washington, Me, April 17-CSpec-
iaD.-Aged Phineas Curtis who lived
alone in his little house at Clark S
Corner in the northwest part of this
town, near the fSomerville. line, was
burned in his home at some time early
this (Tuesday) morning.
The fire was not discovered until a
neighbor went to call and found only
the ruins. In the debris was found a
part of the body of the recluse. He
had, apparently, attempted to save his
household goods from the flames and,
after carrying out a few things, had
gone back and become confused, or
overcome by smoke.
The old man had carried out some
papers and set a f1atiron on them to
keep them from blowing away. Some
canned stuff had also been saved.
Other buildings were far enough
away to be untouched by the flames.
The financial loss is small.
