DIES IN A FIRE USE TEAR BOMBS
Mrs. Elmira ShryOck Burned to
Death in Farm Home.
Kerosene Stove Thought to
Have Caused the Fire.

Fire, which destroyed her farm
home on Soldier creek, ten miles
northwest of Topeka, resulted Sum
day morning about o'clock in the
widow, aged 63 years. The body of
the aged woman, who lived alone in
the house, was almost entirely con-
sumed in the flames.
Passersby discovered that the house
was on fire and attempted to reach
the east room in which Mrs. Shry-
ock slept, but were prevented by
the flames and smoke. The fire had
gained too great headway to be con-
trolled until the house was destroyed
After the heat of the fire had sub
sided, bones and other portions of the
body of the unfortunate woman were
discovered by County coroner H l..
Clark, Undersheriff Carlson, and
Deputy Sheriff Robert Pendletona who
had been called to the scene. There
were also found the melted residue of
several silver coins, showing that
there had been no robbery previous
to the burning, and removing sus-
picion of foul play.
Mrs. Shryock was said by neigh
bors to have been in the habit of us
ing kerosene in lighting ner fires, and
also had a kerosene stove in her
kitchen. 1t is believed by the Off
GERS that she had lighted fire and
laid down again afuerward, possibly
fallen asleep, and the r1re spread to
the building. She had not been well
for the past several days, it was said.
Funeral Held Today.
Mrs. Shryock had lived at the farm
home for many years. Her husband
died last October, and since that time
she had lived there alone. She has a
brother and sister in Topeka The
brothers name is unknown. according
