A Brothel Fire, a Woman Thrown From a Window, and a Logger Burned to Death

June 2.—Special.—At 5 o'clock this morning a two-story frame house, owned by Joseph Henriot and occupied as a house of ill fame, was burned. No furniture was saved and there was no insurance. A man named George Daly was burned to death. An inmate named Mabel Moore had her back broken and was injured internally. She will die. These, with W. H. Anderson, until recently a saloon-keeper here, were the only occupants at the time, all sleeping on the second floor. Anderson says he awoke and found the room full of smoke and very hot. He went to the stairs, the only means of egress except a window, and found them and all below in flames. He ran back to the room, roused the woman and then kicked out the window to jump. The flames immediately rushed through the window, and the woman immediately fainted. There was no time to trifle, so he threw her through the window and jumped through the flames to the street below without clothes, fracturing the bones of one foot. The woman struck the sidewalk and was fatally injured. Daly, who was a logger, went to the house drunk and went to bed alone. His body was found in the ruins after the fire had been extinguished. The head was burned to a crisp and the feet burned off. The coroner's inquest today found him a native of Minnesota, 40 years old, and that he came to his death as stated above. His relatives all live in Minnesota. He came here from the Sound three years ago, and had since worked in various camps. He came to town from Poison's camp a few days ago and had been drunk ever since. He cut his throat in an attempt at suicide at Edison three years ago, which left a bad scar on the right side of the neck. Mabel Moore was about 30 years old. She had lived here for several years and was unusually modest, well behaved and temperate for a woman of her class. Her relatives are said to live in Olympia. Two dogs were burned, which indicates the quickness of the fire. There are some ugly rumors that the fire was not accidental, but these are not generally believed. It is likely that Daly unintentionally set fire to the house.
