LOST HERJJFE IN FIRE
Girl Went Back Into Building
After Escaping With Mother.
Father Made a Desperate Effort tc
Rescue His Daughter but Was Driv
en Back by the Flames Family
Could Hear Her Screams but Coulc
Do Nothing to Help Her Othel
Items of Interest.
In a fire which destroyed the P
donqtie cheese factory, about two mile
flora Rushford, N. Y., Dorothy, th
nine-year-old daughter of Charlei
Bentley, was burned to death.
The fire occurred shortly after 4
o'clock in the morning. The glrl'i
body was found burned to a crisp. Th
loss i estimated at $2,500, partly cov
ered by Insurance.
Charlies Dentley, who owned tht
building, had rooms In one part of the
factory with his family, consisting ol
his wife and three children.
With two children at her Eide and
another one following, Mrs. Bentley
went through the smoke-filled rooms.
When she got out, she saw that
Dorothy was missing. The father ran
back into the building, but was driven
back by the flames. The girl left the
building with her mother, but went
back for something. The family could
hear the child's screams, but thej
could do nothing to rescue her.
POLLUTED DRINKING WATER
Failure to Protect Wells In Farming
Districts Cause pf Typhoid Fever.
The serious menace of typhoid
fever in the country dlstricts a
menace arising from polluted drink
ing water iu thoroughly considered
in a report by Myron T. Fuller of the
United States geological survey, in
which the various sources of pollu
tion are Indicated and suggestions are
given for means of "protect Ion.
Failure to protect adequately the
wells in farming districts is given in
the survey's report as the most com
mon reason for their pollution and ig
norance of the manner in which
ground water circulates is the cause
of faulty protection.
Sources of pollution in the vicinity
of a well or spring should bo noted
wherever possible and drinking water
should not bo drawn except a safe
distance from them.
For protecting wells, springs and
cisterns, Mr. Fuller advocates first of
all a water-tight lining to keep out
surface water. Wells and springs
should always bo covered and protect
ed from animal dust and falling
leaves.

Mrs.McCollum's Remains Were
Concealed In Unoccupied Crypt.

For Remains of the Late Congress
man Scott Mausoleum Waa Badly
Wrecked by the Ghouls In Their En
deavor to Find the Corpse of the
Millionaire.
Erie, Pa., Feb. 13. The body of Mrs.
Anna M. McCollttm, believed to have
been stolen by fjhouls from fts resting
plaec In one of the crypts in the Scott
(mausoleum in Erie cemetemy, has
been found. It had been removed
from the spacious tomb and detectives
found tt doubled up In a copper casa
in another of tho crypts not 20 feet
from the one in which It had been
originally placed.
Now detectives are vlelng with one
another for the credit of making the
discovery.
At any rate one end of Erie's most
sensational tomb-looting case hag been
closed and there now only remains the
work of rounding up the vandals who
despoiled the mausoleum.
With the finding of the body of Mrs.
MeCcllum, the Idea now entertained
by the regular police and the repre
sentative!" of the detective agencies Is
that the vandals forced their way Into
the mausoleum In quest of the body
of the late Hon. William L. Scott,
opened several of the crypts, dragged
forth the body of Mrs. McCoIlum, and
finding It to bo that of a woman, cast
It Into the vacant crypt, in which It
it was found later. Before they had
succeeded in forcing the great plates
covering the crypt In which lay the
body of the former congressman they
became alarmed and fled, leaving
tnelr task uncompleted.
Finding the Body.
In the excitement following the dis
covery that the mausoleum had been
entered and looted, the copper case
containing the body of Mrs. McCol
lttm was overlooked although several
searches were conducted. It was
while tho detectives were examining
the tool marks on the copper plates
which had covered the crypts that the
body of Mrs. McCoIlum was discov
ered. One of the men glancing Into the
darkened aperture discerned the lines
of the case and ho dragged It out fnto
the mausoleum court.
There lying partially on Its sldo
with a shroud covering Its face lay
the body of a woman. The detectives
gathered about the case, and one of
them, a city detective who had known
Mrs. McCoIlum in life, proclaimed the
body to be the one thought to have
been stolen. Members of the Strong
family completed the Identification.
A. P. Burton, the Strong family un
dertaker, was called to the cemeterv
and after the body had been placed in
another casket it was replaced in the
crypt from which It had been removed
by the vandals.
Mrs. Charles H. Strong, who was
said to have collapsed under the strain
to which she had been subjected since?
the looting of the tomb was discov
ered, was said by hor physician to
have entirely recovered her strength
following the finding of the body of
Mrs. McCoIlum.
