floor but cannot be accounted for I'M
less by crossed electric wires Mrs.
Glynn was not home to dinner but her
daughter got the dinner for the chill
dren on the gas stove, stated neigh

covered by children of Mr.. and Mrs.
Necora Uberti, who live in the house
back of the Glynn home, and who told
their mother. She called to Mrs. H..
c. Gitchell, who telephoned to the fire
station, so that the fire department
