Dead From Burns

Ontario, Ore., Oct 28. -- Mrs. O. A. Decker, who was badly burned in a fire 
which destroyed her home near the mouth of the Malheur river, two miles 
southwest of Ontario, about 1 o'clock Saturday morning, died at Holy Rosary 
hospital at 5 o'clock Sunday evening. 

The fire is supposed to have caught from a defected flue, the upper portion of 
the light frame building being wrapped in flames when discovered. The young 
woman rushed into the house to rescue her sleeping baby, when she was overcome 
by the smoke and fell fainting to the floor. Her husband, who was working in 
the field, hurried to the house as soon as he discovered the fire and found 
his wife lying on the floor. He carried her out and then rescued the baby, 
which was uninjured. Mr. Decker was badly burned about the hands, arms and 
head, but will recover. About $200 in money, which was in the house was burned 
up. The woman was frightfully burned, nearly all her cloths being burned from 
her body.
