Two Are Dead

Two Are Dead.

A Michigan Family Circle Broken by a Fire in Chicago.

A Son of James Godfrey, of Buchanan, Perishes by the Burning of a Hotel--William Ullery, His Nephew, Also Loses His Life.

Other Members of the Family Injured.

Chicago, Ill., Aug. 15.--One of the saddest cases in connection with the burning of the Senate hotel at 6:30 a.m., Monday, where seven lives were lost and twenty-one persons injured, was that of James Godfrey and his family. He, with his wife and two children, Grace, 11 years old, and Harry, 9, and his nephew, William Ullery, came to Chicago a week ago from Buchanan, Mich., to see the fair. They stopped at a hotel on Sixtieth street, but went over on the West side Sunday to see the parks. They did not get back until too late to catch a train to their hotel, so went to the Senate hotel for the night.

Mr. Godfrey was awakened by the cry of fire, and at once aroused the family. The father told Ullery to take charge of his son, while he dragged his wife and daughter to the window. Smoke poured in through the ventilating holes at the top of the partition, and it was with difficulty that Godfrey reached the end of the passage. Ullery crawled through the smoke and flames, and, seizing the boy, he started for the window. The young hero fell again and again, but he finally laid his cousin at Mr. Godfrey's feet. It was too late. Harry Godfrey was dead.

Ullery smashed a pane of glass with his foot and leaned out of the window, letting the cool air rush down his throat. He was rescued by the firemen, but his brave effort in behalf of his cousin caused his own death. He was taken to the county hospital, and died at 5 o'clock.
