when neighbors reached the scene.
Some charred bones . have been
Llound, believed to be all that remains
of the two bodies.
A maid servant who slept Jn the

when the flames burst into her room.
She escaped in her night clothes and
ran to the front of^ko house. Her

heat.
! ? James A. DeArmond, a son of the

to arrive. Tt was with difficulty that
he was. restrained from rushing into
the flames. The other members of

? Few men in congress in the last
half century have hud more spoctacu

sented to the use of his name for the

ranks and continually added to' 'his
prestige as one of the quickest. "ihost

congress. His gage of battle was
never lightly accepted.
One of his most characteristic ef
forts, perhaps, was made on the floor
in March. 1908, when he proposed to

scheme to raise a domestic brand of
