Complaint was mode to the Hoard ol
Commissioners by Jake Kinser that
Lcvcn B. McKimmoy, a resident of
Red Cloud, is a poor person, unable
to earn a livelihood by reason of bod
ily infirmity and old age and has
children of suficient ability to sup
port him but that said children nave
failed to r do so. Motion made and
carried that the said children -of I.ev
en B. McKimmoy bo notified of his
condition and directed to support him.
On motion of Waldo and seconded
by Thomas, the claim of Claas ICose
enveloped in flame. She rushed out of
doors. Hor son, following her, was
badly burned in his efforts to extin
guish the fire upon her clothing.
Lawrence Doyle, a helper about the
hotel, followed with a blanket and
burned himself in an effort to smoth
er the flames.
Tho old lady was so badly burncrt
that the only posible relief was the
merciful death that ended Iter agony
in a few hours.
Mrs. Oatman, although nnold and
highly respected resident of the city,
was but little known outside of those
who were brought in immediate con
tact with her in the performance of
her. offices about;, tho hotcl.
Her' life was given to service, and
she rejoiced in the opportunity to
serve to the utmost.
She established herself, not in tho

"Mandalay." That is she the one they call "the Irish
Soprano." She sings for The New Edison with that
