 BURNED TO DEATH
 IN SANITARTUM FIRE

4 tragic fire, which took the lives of about thirty elderly bed-ridden patients, occurred last Sunday just before noon in Seattle when the su- burban Lake Forest Sanitarium, a private institution, was destroyed by flames.
 NJ R. Baird, furnace repair man, said the fire started when the head of a match he lit flew off. The san itarium is located eight miles north of Seattle.
 Most of the victims were trapped in their beds when the frame build ing became a blazing inferno. Three Of those rescued were so badly burn ed they are not expected to live.
 The picture after the fire had run its course was a gruesome one. Most of the walls were upright but half the roof burned away despite ef- forts of firemen who were summon ed from miles away. As the embers began to cool the burned corpses were plainly visible on their broken and filtered beds.
