When Garments Catch Afire
From Gas Stove.

Mrs. Jennie Collins, sister of Will
liam Smith, 915 18th street north

nited from a low gas stove burning
near the fot of her bed and she had
evidently struggled to extinguish her
blazing garments before being overcome
by the flames.
Her brother. Mr.. Smith, arose later
than usual today and was puzzled at
his house. Owing to his sisters adj
vestigations from disturbing her I'M
til he had made search everywhere
else. Finally he knocked at her door
and, receiving no answer, entered the
room. Mrs. Collins body lay at the
foot of the bed and was burnt almost
beyond recognition. She roomed a
considerable distance from the rest of
the family. and If she had made any
outcry it had not been heard
Mr.. and Mrs Smith, with whom
Mrs. Collins had made her home for
about thirty years, at once notified
the coroner. A nephew Of Mrs. Col
Inns, E. W. Smith, has for many
years been connected with the circu-
1ation department of The Star.
