Fire at Chicago boarding house kills, saves others
A blaze at a Garfield avenue boarding house in Chicago early today left Albany Bryant and Mrs Mayer among the injured. Katherine Beck jumped from a third story window severely hurt. Alex Mayer, his wife, and two infants, ages nineteen months and one month, appeared at the window as smoke filled the room. Mayer dropped the younger baby to neighbors, the infant suffering only minor bruises after a fall. Firemen pulled Mrs Mayer to safety as Mayer and a heavy child were pulled to safety. A timber strike knocked Mayer, who later collapsed at the sill. The fire department evacuated occupants by ladder and carried Mayer away.
