Small Fire in SAUNDERs' Studio on East Avenue This Morning. An exploded lamp in the store room of Irving SAUNDERs' photographic studio, on the second floor of the building at No. 62 East avenue, about 9:30 o'clock this morning set fire to the materials stored there. An alarm was sent in from Box No. 13, corner of Stillson street and Main street, east, and the department quickly responded. The blaze was extinguished in a few moments by the use of chemicals. The damage to the materials amounted to about $50. It is impossible to estimate the damage done to photos finished or in the process of finishing by the smoke which rolled out of the windows in large volumes after permeating the whole building. The loss is covered by insurance. The building was not damaged. (Did not get the title of article) ......

LEARY visit the DIX home yesterday and perform an autopsy. Dr. LEARY submitted his report to Coroner SIBLEY last evening. The report gave as the cause of death chronic kidney disease and not heart failure or hemorrhage. The coroner granted a certificate of death to that effect this morning. It is alleged that not only was Mrs. DIX a Christian Scientist, but that the physician practices it, too. She is regularly registered in the county clerk's office and has a license to practice medicine.
