MRS. BARKER CANNOT LIVE
A Specialist From Omaha Thus Declares
After a Thorough Examination.
The Journal regrets to learn that it
will be impossible for Mrs. Edgar Bar
ker to survive the terrible burning she
received on Monday morning last.
When the extent of her injuries was
learned Mr. Barker was advised to
summon a specialist from Omaha.
This was done, and after a very thor
ough examination it was found that
her recovery would be impossile.
The sad accident occurred al)out 10
o'clock last Monday morning at the
Barker home two miles west of Myn
ard. Mrs. Barker was engaged in
rendering lard, and had occasion to
enter the house for something, and as
she passed the fire the same caught
her dress, and it was but a second till
she was enveloped in llames. Samuel
Barker, her husband's father, was at
home, and all efforts were made to
rescue her before she was so badly
burned.
Mrs. Barker is a daughter of Roe
Ilinton, deceased. She is alsoaneice
of Mrs. J. W. Johnson, of this city. M r.
Johnson's latest report from the un
fortunate lady is to the effect that it
is but a question of a few hours when
death will relieve her of her suffering.
