Baker, the well known Po- land China breeder, was painfully in- jured and had a narrow escape from death Thursday. Mr. Baker was working in a well on his stock farm in Pleasant Gap township when a curb stone, weighing between 30 and 40 pounds became dislodged and fell into the well, narrowly missing his head and shoulders and striking his right hand. He came to Yhis city Friday to have the injured member dressed. The hand was badly cut and bruised. Mr. Baker informs us that his herd of Poland China hogs are doing finely and that he is receiv- ing and filling numerous mail orders for breeding stock. His herd head- ers, King Hadley and King John, were weighed some days ago and tipped the scales at 950 and 650 pounds respectively.

The victims were chiefly women and girls. Early tonight 22 bodies had been recovered. In the City Hospital and in private institutions are 30 injured. Some two score persons are known to have escaped af by a miracle from the building, which barst into flame like a tinder box and became a roar- ing furnace in almost no time after the first alarm was sounded. About 125 persons were in the fac- tory when the fire broke out. Those unaccounted for, or most of them, are believed to still be in the red-hot ruins of the structure. Around the scene of disaster, the greatest the city has ever known, thousands watched the workers in the glare of of three big searchlights, many in the great throng being re- strained only by the closely drawn police from rushing into the ruins to seek the bodiesof relatives or friends. Water is being poured into the fiery pit that a few hours ago was the cel- lar of the burned establishment. As the ruins were cooled slightly from time to time in a spot upon which the streams were centered, men went forward to dig as long as endurance would allow them to work.

Scott street in this city Thurs- day morning July 17, 1913 after only a short illness occasioned by a fall some days ago which resulted in a fractured hip. Harriet Cockran was born in Bath, Canada, November 11, 1826, and was there reared to young womanhood. She became the wife of Robert R. Deacon November 2, 1853, and to this union were bern six children, two girls, Julia and Harriet, and four boys, Deo, Robert, Harry and An- drew, all of whom survive to mourn the loss of a kind and loving mother. They moved to Bates county in 1880, locating in Butler, where Mr. Deacon established a hardware and implement business which he con- ducted until bis death some years ago. Mrs. Deacon was one of those sweet faced, kindly, sympathetic ladies whom we always associate with the sacred name of mother. Charitable to a fault, a devoted mother, a minis- tering angel in sickness or distress and a good neighbor, she was loved and revered by all who knew her. She was a consistent, devoted mem- ber of the Presbyterian church. Funeral services, conducted by the Rev. Ticknor were held at the resi- dence Friday morning and interment was made in Oak Hill cemetery.

Her helpless con- dition necessitated the closest atten- tion on the part of her parents. She was sweet spirited and obedient, and the affection between the helpless child and the mother was of the ten- derest. It so often happens, because of the attention required, that the af- flicted child calls forth the highest devotion from the hearts of the close of kin. Nellie was sick but afew days. It is thought that measles was the immediate cause of death. She was buried on Wednesday afternoon. A largely attended funeral service was held at the home, in charge of Rev. Claude S.
