It lived three hours. The mother had just started the fire and gone into the yard after an armful | of wood, leaving the child on the floor. She was gone only a few moments. Dur- ing her absence the child climbed up to the stove and its clothes were lgnrted, probably by a spark. When the mother returned she was horrified at seeing the | baby’'s hair all ablaze and all its clothes | burned off except the shoes and stockings. | The house was open and a strong north wind had fanned the sgark instantly into a flame.

M. Angellotti. The first ground was decided not well taken, because Creed was pardoned out of San Quentin on May 25, 1881, his citizen- ship being thereby restored. As regards the second ground, Judge Angellotti de- cided that, as the official ‘proclamation of the Board of Supervisors called for the election of two men and the ballots were marked for two, those directions should have been followed by-the electors with- out regard to what was told them by the election officials.
