INJURIES WERE FATAL.
Mrs. James BOGGAN, who was so terribly injured at her home in Gilman on December 23rd, died at Leadville last Saturday. As will be remembered by readers of this paper, Mrs. BOGGAN opened the oven of the kitchen stove with a lighted lamp in her hand to inspect the baking of some bread. It is presumed the lamp was defective and some of the oil spilled on the hot stove, immediately blazing up and enveloping the unfortunate woman. She was burned about the face, neck and arms, and was taken to a Leadville hospital.
After weeks of suffering Mrs. BOGGAN succumbed to the injuries as above stated. She leaves a husband and two sons, boys in their 'teens.
