SEIDL caption: FATAL FIRE — This small house sitting at the corner of East 11th and North 5th streets here was the scene of a fire Tuesday night which claimed the life of Francis N. Hiller, 41. Mr. Hiller apparently fell asleep while smoking a cigarette on his bed just inside the burned out wall shown above. It was reported Hiller suffocated in his sleep about an hour before anyone ever noticed any fire or flames in the small building. — Journal photo by Bob Elliott
