DRIVES WAGON ACROSS
open SAUK LAKE

Two weeks ago, aided by high
winds and high temperatures, Sauk
Lake began it's spring breakup.
Wide patches of water showed be-
tween floes of ice. It was on its
way out with the winds shifting
the ice. Then came freezing wealth
er. In two days it would support
weight again. Last week cottagers
in the Country Club addition were
surprised to find man, with a
wagon load Of wood, plying his way
across the lake from the island to
Hedin's point. There was skating
to be found too. Sauk Lake closed
again as April drifted back into
wintertime.

 On Mrs, Behan's Death
WatervIe Woman Asphyxated in Home Early Yester- day Morning Explosion Starts Fire, Damages Home

until firemen arrived. Attempts at artificial respiration failed to revive Mrs. Behan, and she was ordered removed to the Waterbury Hospital.
 State Trooper James Parrott.' of Hartford, assisted Marshal Lahey in the Investigation.
 Mrs. Behan was a former resi- dent of New Milford, where she was born Aug. 7, 1907, a daughter of Frank and Gwendolyn (Beers) Soule. Besides her husband and children, she leaves her father, of, New Milford and Hartford; a brother, David E. Soule and her grandmother, Mrs. Helen Beers, both of New Milford
 Funeral services will be held tomorrow morning at II o'clock at the Alderson funeral home, 70 Central avenue. Rev. pr. Sherrod Soule of Hartford, a distant rela- atce, will officiate. Burial will be in New Milford.
 Friends may call at the funeral home tonight from ! to g o'clock.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-11-13

Despite conflicting reports. Cor oner William B. Hennessy said today he is satisfied "there is no criminal responsibility of any other person" involved in the death of Mrs. Helen Soule Behan, 32, whose body was found in the kitchen of her home, 59 Suffolk street, Waterville, after an explosion and fire early yesterday morning.
 Death was accidental" the cor oner said. According to his recon- struction of the fatality, Mrs. Behan left her bedroom about midnight and went to the kitchen where she lighted four burners on the kitchen range to warm the room. In so do- ing, the coroner believes, the wo- man accidentally also turned on the jet controlling the oven.
 Explosion Follows
 Gas escaping from the oven was sufficient to overcome Mrs. Behan, the coroner claims, and was also responsible for the explosion when its continued flow built up sufficient pressure and came in contact with the lighted jets.
 Fire Marshal Dennis J. Lahey, who also investigated, said the ex- plosion was responsible for the fire which burned kitchen furnishings and furniture, curtains, and a rug in the adjoining dining room.
 pr. Edward H. Kirschbaum, med- ical examiner who conducted an autopsy, said Mrs. Behan was dead when her husband, Lewis W. Behan, found her prostrate body on the kit- chen floor.
 Behan told police, the coroner, and fire officials that he and his wife had retired, but Mrs. Behan got up short time later and went down to the Kitchen. He fell asleep, he said, and was not awakened until his daughter, Patricia, g, rushed in- to the room and told him the house was on fire. A son Frank, 6, was also awakened by the smell of smoke
 Police said that as far as they could find out, no one heard the ex- plosion.
