PHOTO MATERIALS ABLAZE.
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) ...... Coroner SIBLEY this morning granted a certificate of death from chronic kidney disease in the case of Mrs. Sarah A. DIX of No. 325 West avenue.  Mrs. DIX died n Monday and it is alleged that her death is due to the vagaries of the Christian Science cult.
         According to the investigation made by the coroner, Mrs. DIX became ill some time ago.  She is a believer in Christian Science and it is said persistently refused to call in a physician.  A few hours before her death, however, she did allow one to be summoned.  The physician was unable to aid her.  She died before any medicines had been prescribed.
         The physician, who is a woman, made out a certificate of death from heart failure and hemorrhage.  Application was made to Health Officer GOLER for a burial permit, based upon the certificate of death. Dr. GOLER refused to issue one.  Then the physician made out another certificate in which a different cause of death was given.
         When the second certificate of death was presented at the office of the Health Board yesterday Dr. GOLER was out of town and those in charge refused to grant a permit.  Coroner SIBLEY was notified by the authorities and started an investigation.  He consulted with the physician and she agreed to a post mortem examination.  Coroner SIBLEY had Coroner's Physician M.E. 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.  It is said that she has admitted that she made only one call upon Mrs. DIX and that it was at the last moment, and that she did not prescribe any medicines.  It is said that efforts were made to induce Mrs. DIX to call in a regular physician, but they were useless until her condition became alarming.  It is said, that she had been attended by a ....
