Incinerated in Hospital.
Mrs. M. J. Myers of Keota, in trying to heat milk for her sick baby in the Homeopathic hospital at Iowa City, ignited her wrapper and before hospital attendants could extinguish the flames she was fatally burned. The child was saved and quick action prevented a spread of the flames in the overcrowded wards of the building.
