ed for three hours over the tiny
form of Charlotte Mazzia. one and
one-half years old. the baby died.
The child had been Ill for three
weeks with double pneumonia. Late
last night the tiny lungs gasped
their last and stopped working. DIR
Samuel Allison Rose Of Stamford
telephoned for the police inhalator
and it was brought to the house.
For a while 1t seemed that the
artificially induced respiration
would bring back life to the baby
girl. Mazzit and his wife stood
hopefully by watching the big blue
uniformed men and the physician as
they battled over the tiny white
cot.
Shortly after midnight the oxygen
begaN TO run low and an officer
rushed to Milford by automobile for
more. He returned with three
TASKS which he obtained from the
Milford police and fire departments
but 1t was not needed. The baby

mysterious fire which destroyed one

structure with business establish
ments on the ground floor and tene-
ments on the second floor.
Two families fled lightly clad
from apartments on the upper floor
and so rapidly did the flames spread
that some members of the families
had to be assisted to safety by police.
Business establishments ruined by
the flames included: Greenwood

of Elks at Niagara Falls. He was

WELL PRODUCES ICE
IN HOTTEST WEATHER
Scientists Ponder Freak of Nature
Believed of Glacial
Origin.

SPOKANE, Wash. Cp).-While SCI
entists ponder one of natures freaks
Edward L. Peterson chips ice from his
well here during the hottest Summer day
and uses it to chill fruits and vege-
tables.
Peterson's father homesteaded the
site in 1890 and used the well as a
storage refrigerator for meat.
It IS known that this well had a part
in the early history of the Pacific
Northwest, for still further back there
was a trading post of the Hudson Bay
Co. here. During the struggle between
fur companies the Hudson agents stored
pelts in the ice well to preserve them
during the Summer.
The history of the well goes even fur
ther-to the prehistoric days, probably.
when a tremendous glacier slowly
crunched its way across the site that
is now Spokane. Glacier rock forna-
lions can be seen all about this region
now.
The theory has been advanced that
a portion of the ice glacier stayed here.
buried miles deep in the ground, and
that the we'll just taps the top Of it.
Other theorists have said that the ice
freezes In the well each year.

Temperatures continued ~unseason-

n~orth-central states, but were near
the seasonal average over the south
ern half of the country.
