SEATTLE, Wash., June 22.— John Dex
ter, the two-year-old son of Mr. and Mm.
E. Dexter, residing at 1227 .Washingt-r
street, died this morning of burns recei
at 8:30 o'clock last night. Friday nlgn..
candles were burned in the house instead
of lamps. The child, large enough to
climb upon a chair, succeeded In getting
on a table. The burning candle pleased
him and he picked- the stick up in his
hands. He played with it for several min
utes undisturbed by any member of the
family. At last he dropped it and in his
efforts to regain it . the name set fire to
his clothing.. -
The cries of j the child attracted the
other members of the family. When they
arrived the little fellow seemed to be a
mass of flames from his waist .to his head.
Frantic efforts to extinguish the flames
were at. last successful, but the child had
been fatally burned.

' SEATTLE, Wash.,; June 22.— Somewhere
between Gold Run and Bering the body of
James Fallon, formerly an employe of the
Alaska Commercial Company, lies covered
with snow. He lost his life May IS while
trying to make a round trip from Teller,
City to Gold Run in one day. He was ac
companied by Dan Dixon.
> The men.- who. were without food or
blankets, were caught In a storm after
leaving Gold Run on their return trip and
Fallon .became exhausted. For' awhile
Dixon carried him on his back, but they
were making such poor progress that It
was decided best for Dixon to go back for
help. Fallon was left in a temporary shel
ter on the trail. Dixon got help,, but* in
the' storm lost his way, and it was not
until next morning that he found the
place where he /had left Fallon. Fallon
was missing. Searching parties went out
from Teller, Bering and Gold Run. but no
trace of the lost man was found. It is
supposed that Fallon tried to continue his
trip after Dixon left him. and wandering
off the trail, sank down to die in the snow.

several years Brown 'has noticed that

SAX BERNARDINO, June 22.— News
reached here this afternoon of the thrill
ing experience and narrow escape from
death of Miss Frances Fuller, aged 16
years, and George Filler, aged 17, children
of "\V. H. Fuller, a prominent L*>s Angeles
attorney, and their guest, Miss Emma
Allen, aged 24 years, an art teacher, who
resides at 4910 Prairie avenue, Chicago.
At an early hour yesterday morning the
young people started from their summer
camp at SQUirrel Inn, thirty miles from
this city, for the purpose of exploring the
adjacent country. They failed to return
by dark and their absence greatly alarmed
their parents ¦ and two hundred friends
•who are spending: the season at the moun
tain resort. ' *
A searching party oJ twenty experienced
mountaineers was sent out at 10 o'clock
last night. The searchers returned with
young Fuller, whom they had found in an
unconscious condition on a dangerous
mountain trail. The \youngr people had
lost their bearings and were unable to
get out of Dead Tree Canyon. Fuller
started to reach the camp, but en route
he fell from hunger and exhaustion.
Another searching party started out and
at 8 o'clock this morning discovered the
young women almost dead from exposure
and hunger. They, too, had abandoned
the struggle to find civilization and laid
down to die. All during the night they
had tramped over steep mountain sides
and thrpugh rugged canyons in frantic
efforts 'to reach their friends. The cries
of wild beasts added horror to
their perilous surroundings. Miss Allen,
contracted poison oalt while making her
exit through the thick underbrush and her
condition is regarded as precarious.
At one point a large rock fell from a
precipice 300 feet high, and, striking Miss
Fuller, rendered her insensible for an
hour. When found the two were unable
to articulate owing to their gTeat suffer
ing from thirst. There' was no water in
that section and had not their rescue
been effected this morning they would
not have survived the day. The posse
was compelled to carry both young
women to camp, six miles distant.
