Mrs. D. A. Smith Fatally Burned by
Flaming Oil.
Mrs. D. A. Smith, a daughter of
James Simonton, of Rickreall, and
sister of Willis Simonton, of this city,
was burned to death by the explosion
of a coal-oil can at her home in Port
land, Wednesday morning. The sad
news reached Dallas by telephone,
and cat a gloom over the city, as
Mrs. Smith had many friends here.
The Telegram gives the following aiv
count of the sad affair :
. "As wjs her usual custom, Mrs.
Smith rose Wednesday morning to
prepare breakfast for her husband
and three children. Mr. Smith, who
does not leave his work in the Albina
f reight office of the O. R. &N. till mid
night, was still asleep in the bedroom
when he was aroused by a sharp re
port. 1L1 iriii'ii'iliaU iy jumpe... up umi
started to go through the door into the
kitchen. When he opened the door
he was horrified to see that the room
was filled with flame, and from the
midst of it he heard the agonizing
screams of his wife. He ran to the
window and was met there by J ames
H. Kelly, of 729 Michigan avenue,
who had just left the next house on
his way to work. 'I heard an ex
plosion,' said Mr. Kelly.
" 'My wife is burning up,' cried Mr.
Smith. 'Take the children.'
"The children were quickly carried
out of the window and Mr. Kelly
entered the parlor and found Mrs.
Smith with her dress on fire. He
grasped her as she ran about and
tried to smother the flames with his
hands. The husband then came in
and the sister. The three took her up
and wrapped a quilt about her. This
seemed to extinguish the blaze, but
owing to the dense smoke now filling
the room they carried the suffering
woman out on the front porch, where
Officer Carr, who lives across the
street, joined them. Every effort was
made to tear the clothes from Mrs.
Smith, but before they succeeded she
was so badly burned as to be almost
beyond help.
"In the meantime an alarm had
been turned in, and with the firemen
came Dr. W. T. Eisen, who had been
passing on a car. Dr. Eisen examined
the woman and suggested that she be
immediately taken to the hospital. An
ambulance was called and the injured
woman removed to the sanitarium of
St. Vincent's, where she died a few
hour3 later.
"The resulting fire burned out the
kitchen and did damage to the extent
of about $100. It is said that Mrs.
Smith forgot to remove from the stove
the oil can which she had just been
using, and becoming overheated by
the fire, it exploded. The can, on
examination, showed unmistakable
marks of having blown up. The bot
tom was gone and the sides bulged
out. .
"Mr. Kelly, in his endeavor to put
out the blaze in Mrs. Smith's clothing,
was very badly burned about the
hands and wrists, incapacitating him
totally for use of either hand. Officer
Carr escaped unhurt.
"Mrs. Smith has three children, the
youngest a baby 14 months."

E. J. Arnold was in Dailas this
week completing arrangements for
the carnival.
The usual merry-go-round will be a
source of great attraction to the
children, but a ride on the Ferris
Wheel will be a feature of enjoyment
not hitherto enjoyed by many people

The Arnold troupe consists of
seventy-five performers who give a
never-ending series of entertainments
from 2 to 5, and from 8 to 11, of each
day of the Carnival. It requires a
special train of six coaches to move
them from place to place.

bids for stand room and for the main
tent concession will be received by the
committee up to May 16. Bids should
be filed witn Secretary W. G. Vassall.
The highest bidder will have choice of
location. Bids offered will mean so
much per diem.
Arrangements have been made to
include in the procession on the open
ing day the nine cars of Prof. Arnold,
which contain his animals. This will
be the strongest show ever seen in
Dallas, one of the latest additions be
ing a Bengal tiger. Be sure to see the
trained coyotes make a leap of 50 feet.
