Mrs. E. A. Shinn was fatally burned at her home a short distance west of DuBois Monday morning of this week and died Tuesday night about ten o'clock. Mrs. Shinn was starting the gasoline engine preparatory to doing the family washing and, it is supposed that in filling the tank with gasoline some of the liquid spilled on her clothes and the fire from the exhaust pipe ignited it. She and her young daughter Adella were at home alone at the time of the accident and although the little girl did all with in her power to help her mother extinguish the flames, it was not until Mrs. Shinn's brother, Frank Dvorak, who happened to be passing at the time and hearing screams, ran to investigate, that the fire was put out. Dr. Anderson of Pawnee was immediately called and, although he did everything possible to alleviate the suffering of the unfortunate woman, held out no hopes for her recovery. This is one of the saddest deaths that has ever occurred in this community and the grief stricken husband and children; also the brother and sisters and the aged father have the sympathy of all in their great sorrow.
