DIED AS RESULT OF FIRE
 
Everett Hill, who lives on an island in the Snake River between Ontario and 
Nyssa, died Wednesday morning as a result of burns received as his residence 
burned down Sunday night.
 
Mr. and Mrs. Hill were awakened about 5 o'clock to the morning by smoke coming 
into their room and Everett jumped to the door leading into another room and 
as he opened it the flames engulfed him and he narrowly made his escape from 
the house.  Having some valuable papers he wanted he rushed in for them and 
received additional injuries.  He was rushed to the Ontario hospital, but his 
injuries proved too much and he died Wednesday morning.
 
The young wife, to whom he had been married only about a year, escaped injury 
in the fire, but is overcome by the sad ending of his life.

Everett Hill was badly burned about five o'clock Friday morning at his home on 
the island south of Ontario.  He was suddenly awakened by the smell of smoke, 
and upon opening the door into the kitchen, found the whole room to be in 
flames.  He was knocked down by the force of the flames, but got up and held 
the door closed until Mrs. Hill could get out of the house.  He then got out 
also, but was badly burned about the face, chest,and hands.  He was taken at 
once to the Ontario hospital, and is in quite a serious condition, although he 
is somewhat improved at this writing.  The origin of the fire is unknown, 
unfortunately they had no insurance on the house and contents, which was a 
total loss.
