GASOLINE EXPLOSION
IS CAUSE OF DEATH
Mrs. Ben Dalgarno SuffOcates in
Her Home While House Is
Burning

The entire community was shocked
to hear of the death of Mrs. Ben
Dalgarno on Thursday morning of
this week at her home at 100 E. 3rd
st. Death was due to suffocation
following a gasoline explosion.
At eleven o'clock a fire alarm was
sent in by Mrs. Bert Hollenbeck,
neighbor of the Dalgarno's, who saw
smoke coming from the house. 1t
was then supposed that Mrs. Dali
garno was down town, but after the
firemen arrived, someone reported
that they thought she was at home.
A search was made, and her body
was found on the kitchen floor. The
heavy smoke had prevented the men
from seeing her when they first
came.
It was evident, from tub of clothes
near by, and can of gasoline stand
ing on the floor, that Mrs. DalgarnO
had been cleaning clothes, that the
gasoline had evaporated, and that
the heat from the stove had caused
an explosion. The body was badly
burned about the arms.
Little Evelyn was playing out
doors, when the accident occurred.
Mr.. DaIgarno had left the house to
go down town just a few minutes
earlier.
a The rear of the house is practically
destroyed by the fire, and all of the
interior damaged by smoke and
water. The fire was out by noon.
- Mr.. and Mrs. Dalgarno came to
Morris from Canada five years ago.
There is one child, Evelyn, who is
four years old.
Arrangements for the funeral will
be made as soon as message is re-
ceived from Mrs. Dalgarno's parents,
Mr. and Mrs. George Wilson of
Chivolet, Saskatchewan, Canada. An
obituary will be printed next week.
