Elias Allies of North avenue, was
probably fatally burned this after

Just how the accident occurred
is mystery. The boy had cut an
eight-tnch window in the box, which
is about two feet wide, three feet
high and five feet long. He had
also built a roof over the box and
cut door in one end. Into this
coop he had taken a lamp and rome
straw, supposedly with the intention
OF making a bed for his expected
pets. Evidently he closed the door
which locks from the outside, and
While imprisoned in the small rab-
bit house either tipped over the
lamp or dropped a lighted match,
which set fire to the straw. The
boy made desperate effort to es-
cape and stuck his feet through the
window, but was unable TO get his
entire body through the small open
ing.
Two neighbors heard his frantic
cries for help and ran to his rescue.
II took their entire strength to pull
him through the window. The fire
department was called and put out
the blaze. The boy was rushed to
the Ross hospital in the automobile
OF Fire CHIEF Charles Chadwick.
where he was reported in q criti-
cal condition late tonight. The
ciothing was burned from his body,
winch is covered with burns. His
mouth and tongue are badly blis-

from internal burns. DR.. s. A. Cobb,
the attending physician, said there
was little hope of the boys recoy-
