DAVID V. WALDRON FATALLY BURNED
IN BED AND DIES IN fEW MINUTES
Esteemed Citizen of Valdez Meets Tragic End All Alone In His
Home At Age of 89 Years, Result of Ignition of Blan
kets By Electric Bulb Placed At Feet to Keep
Extremities Warm While Sleeping
1 >nvi«l V. Waklmu, 8i> years old
and long" a resident of Yaldez.
burned |o death in his cabin on
Iteservation avenue this morn
ing. the fire starling from an
electrical bulb which he lia<l
plaeeil at his feet in I lie beil
clothing lo keep I hem warm. The
old man's lefts were nearly burn
ed otr, while his body was scarce
ly touched by the lire.
The old man was very feeble,
but had struggled out of bed and
reached the floor, where lie fell
inside,, apparently overcome by
the smoke in the room and loss
of strength from his fearful
burning. Kxact details of the
trrigredy can only be conjectured.
Discovery of the lire was made
by Malcolm MacDouahl, driver
for "the Valdez Transfer, who
went to the house to see if Mr.
JVValdroii needed coal, J. M. I.ath
rop having left orders'thai he
be kept supplied. MacDonakl
knocked on the floor but receiv
ed no answer. As lie stood wail
ing lie smelh'd smoke from the
inside. 11*• opened (li«» door, which
was unlocked, hul such a volume
of smoke hursl into his fare Hint
lie was unable to enter.
Enter Through Smoke.
Maehonald called to Sam Tay

across I lie si reel, and soon a Her
I hey arrived the smoke cleared
pari ially -I hrough tlie open door
au,| I hey were able lo see I he
old man I> i 11k on the (loor. They
picked him up. still living, am',
carried him across the street in
to I»r. I)allon*s house, where he
died u few minutes laler. lie ul
tereit no word from Ilia time lie
was found except to say as the
men were taking him across the
street. "Oh. my (Sod!"
Mr. Wahlron had evidently
gone to bed fully dresesd lo keep
warm. When found he was fully
clad, except that one shoe ami
most of his trousers had burn
ed off. Nearly all the llcsh was
hurm'd from his lower limbs but
his body showed no signs of
burning. It seems plain that the
In-al from (In* eleelrie luilh. eh»se
ly confined in I he blankets for
many hours, finally ^em^-ated
